Designed for reliable everyday use, the Safetech Single-Sided Gravity Gate Latch features two independent latching hooks and a design that helps reduce jamming caused by dirt, leaves and other debris. Its gravity-operated mechanism allows the latch to engage automatically when the gate is properly closed, while the key-lockable design provides added security.

Made from high-grade polymer and rust-resistant stainless steel components, this latch is built to withstand outdoor conditions. Horizontal and vertical adjustment allows for precise alignment during installation, while the reversible design makes it suitable for both left- and right-hand gate configurations.

Features:

• Reduced Risk of Jamming: Two independently operating hooks and a guide-free design help reduce the risk of dirt, leaves and other debris interfering with the latching mechanism.
• Key-Lockable Security: The key-lockable design provides added security for your gate, with two keys included for convenient everyday use.
• Durable Outdoor Construction: Made with an engineered polymer housing and rust-resistant stainless steel components, the latch is designed to resist UV exposure and corrosion for long-term outdoor use.
• Adjustable for Better Alignment: Horizontal and vertical adjustments allow for precise positioning, helping the latch and gate post fitting align properly for reliable engagement.
• Reversible Design: The reversible design allows for left- or right-hand operation, making the latch adaptable to different gate configurations.
• Versatile Gate Compatibility: Suitable for aluminium, steel, timber and vinyl gates, offering flexibility for various residential gate installations.
