National Hardware Automatic Gate Latch with 4 in Bar, Stainless Steel | Latches on Its Own As the Gate Swings Shut; Rust-Free Build for Metal and Wood Gates, Left or Right Hand

Excellent quality!

I chose this latch for 2 reasons: First, because it's stainless steel, Second, because it latches automatically. I installed 2 of these to replace the original coroding hasps on 2 gates. Took less than an hour including removal of the old hardware. They were easy to position & align & the provided stainless steel screws work perfectly with my wooden gates. The automatic latch works smoothly - just swing the gate closed to engage. Releasing the latch blindly from the other side is no problem - simply lift the catch lever. The catch lever can be locked with a small padlock, but I have no need to lock my gates.

Installed on a gate exposed to sun and rain. Easy to install. All hardware included. No sharp edges or machining errors. Only installed a month ago, but no rust or wear yet.

I hope it doesn’t rust

I got this to keep our attic door from popping open. It is very sturdy latch and does what we bought it for.

Heavy duty latch, much better than what it replaced...

Great deal a S/S gate latch. Very hard to find and at a reasonable price. Live by the water. No Rust is a Plus

vry high quality work like a champ

calidad inoxidable y muy buena cerradura para la puerta del pasillo en donde andas mis mascotas. 100% recomendable

The item is brilliant, but the delivery was c**p.

This is designed to operate the release catch from outside with a cord fitted to it . I have attached a stainless steel tube to the latch so that it is more comfortable to operate from inside. Stainless steel must be used outdoors due to the poor quality of galvanised steel these days. Quality 5 star.

Easy to set up works great

Was a bit disappointed with the overall quality of the latch when it arrived. The metal is on the thin side, not as robust as others. It is made of stamped metal … in this case the process creates sharp edges all along the latch. Was able to find a latch in a local lumber store that was much stronger and made of heavier metal. Also, $8 cheaper and no razor sharp edges.
