NIDAYE Self-Locking Gate Latch - Post Mount Automatic Gravity Lever Wood Fence Gate Latches with Fasteners/Black Finish Steel Gate Latch to Secure Pool

The media could not be loaded. So much better than a pull string. We installed this latch right at elbow level for easy operation when our hands are full. Our old gate feels new again. This latch was a major upgrade.It's solid metal and well built. The spring mechanism feels like it will last for years. I Highly recommend this latch.

This latch works extraordinarily well. When the gate closes, you hear and feel a sturdy snap. There’s no chance that you’re going to leave the gate open. It was easy to install and came with sturdy lag bolts. The only downside is there is a very attractive handle on one side, but on the other side of the gate the handle is not ornate. It works fine, but they could’ve put the same handle on both sides. This is one of the best home-improvement projects there is for $30.

I installed this on my 10 ft steel gate door. Install was very easy because latch came with self-tapping screws. The latch is really solid and holds the large gate securely closed. My only wish is if they would have done a complete weld around the latch stud as this is the part that will take the hardest hit when closing.

I ordered this latch with another item and ended up having to order twice. The original shipment was returned to shipper (Amazon?) due to damage in transit and never arrived. After waiting for Amazon to sort this out, I reordered. Both items arrive in a timely fashion. This latch was exactly what I needed, installed without fuss and securely latches my gate exactly as I needed. It also allows easy opening from each side and the ability to attach a lock on either side of the gate. Very pleased

This lock is extremely quality. It makes the previous lock looks doll house one...I like that unlocking mechanism — by metal lever. No more strings, etc.My precious lock never latched. This one closes with a satisfying “clunk”.Only thing to consider that the locking hardware is thicker and you need 1/3 to 1/2 inch gap between gate and post. I didn’t have that so I had to chisel a bit of the post and the gate. Complicated the installation a bit but well worth it!Great self locking mechanism!

I had a fence built years ago and used some really simple hinges on the two gates. I replaced them with these in about 5 minutes each using a small drill bit and a ratchet. The other style I had was very sensitive with alignment and had to be adjusted multiple times over the years. This one seems to be a bit more forgiving since it is spring locking instead of gravity. The open/close and latching of this is super smooth. A+++ would buy again.*Note: My 6ft wide gate had a much larger post in the ground to secure it too. The latch has a L shaped piece of metal on the back which is supposed to extend past the post. I had to hammer that back L flat and break the piece off. Once I had mounted everything is still felt incredibly sturdy and didn't affect the way the latch works in any way.

Works seamlessly! Very satisfying clunk when closed.

This thing is probably overkill for my 4 foot fence gate, but it looks like it will last forever! Easy to install, latches easily and solidly, can be padlocked. It’s nice to have a solid latch that I don’t have to worry about breaking or falling off. Looks like a real winner.
