Product Information

Some gate latches are easier to install than others, and choosing the correct model might hinge a bit on that point. For instance, bolt latches tend to be very easy to install: Just attach the bolt housing to the post-edge of the gate, close the gate, and install the catch that receives the bolt on the gate. In general, this takes six screws. The easiest way to install a gate latch is by attaching the hardware to the gate first, lining the closed gate up with the post, and attaching the catch on the post. All it takes is a pencil for marking the holes to drill, a power drill and drill bits, as well as a screwdriver or driver bit for the power drill. Q. What side should a gate open?

The most common material used for gate latches is powder-coated steel, which is a low-cost but relatively weather-resistant choice. You’ll also find zinc-plated steel or iron, which is usually found in chain-link fence gates. Upgraded hardware options might include stainless steel or even bronze, both of which are more resistant to corrosion than steel or iron. Not all gate-latch hardware is rated for outdoor application. Raw metals like steel will rust and corrode, and they’ll only last a season or two. It’s important to find hardware made from materials that will last, like stainless steel or bronze, or metals with protective coatings such as zinc plating or powder-coat paint.

Gates in chain-link fences require specially designed gate latches like this model from Jake Sales. This latch attaches in seconds, requiring just tightening the nuts on the U-bolt to hold it in place. Typically, gates should open inward toward the space. This is a tradition held over from gardens in populated cities, where outward swinging gates could strike a passerby. Why Trust Bob VilaBob Vila has been America’s Handyman since 1979.
