Double-Sided Gate Latch

Double-Sided Gate Latch is a practical gate latch with an automatic catch mechanism. Once the gate is properly closed, the latch engages and holds it shut without manually sliding a bolt. The latch does not close the gate by itself.

Its key benefit is operation from both sides of the gate. The release lever allows the latch to be opened from the opposite side. It may also be secured with a padlock when required; the padlock is not included.

Key benefits

• automatic latching when the gate is properly closed
• release from the opposite side using an operating lever
• option to secure the latch with a padlock
• surface finish suitable for indoor and outdoor use
• ideal for gates requiring two-sided access

Installation and clearance requirement

The latch component is best mounted to the gatepost, with the matching component mounted to the gate. Leave sufficient clearance between the gate and post for the operating lever to move, enabling release from the opposite side. Use suitable fasteners for the mounting surface; fixing hardware is not included.
