Power-Latch 1 Way Gate Latch

kid proof, simple, strong. It is designed (as claimed) for 2" standard pipe. My dog fence is 1.3" so I added steel shim to fit.

Well made and works very well.

Awesome latch

If your gate only swings in one direction, this is a good latch for it. It can be relatively easily operated with one hand, and latches automatically when you close the gate. Note that a) you may need to push on the gate to open the latch, especially if you have some too-eager goats leaning on it from the other side. b) you may need to look at and modify your installation depending upon the thickness of your gate and where the post of the latch from the gate is positioned relative to where you mount the latch-plate. In my case, I had to build up behind the latch-plate since the gate otherwise hit the gate post and the latch wouldn't mate.All in all, an excellent, solid product, and it has made use of one of our pastures much more enjoyable.

Would've given 5 stars but I have some minor thoughts on improving this. Plus, one latch (I ordered two) has a terrible weld that's all bubbled and looks awful lol. The gold "spacer" half loops they provide for smaller diameter gates are absolutely terrible. They're not in the same shape as the black lock itself and I used a hammer to bash it into shape and it still was a pain to fit around the gate tube. Ridiculous amount of effort to get those to work. The tolerance from the "knob" and the slot it goes into (where the gold piece is) is way too tight of a fit. That weird looking loop piece below it should be smaller and allow more wiggle room since everyone is working with a wood post which isn't always straight, things shift or settle, warp, etc so having a little more space would be nice. Probably the biggest issue I've had is that the "loop" for the lock is directly in line with the hole for a screw or bolt and the headlok black structural screw I used makes the "lock loop" rest on it which backs the entire system ever so slightly back towards me. The gold latch will hit the knob and you basically can't open the gate now. You have to push/press the hole gate forward so the gold latch clears the knob. These are simple fixes really. Again, that knob on the first gate I installed (which was perfect when I put it together but now I went and checked it) is now scrapping the bracket and won't "sit back" in the cradle all the way so the gold swinging latch is hitting it. Bummer. Last thing, the lock loop is not the best secured loop. It could be beefer and bigger/thicker. Obviously whatever lock you use is the weak point but all they need to do is lower or raise that loop to make room for the screw head too.

We dealt with a chain for our gate for over 20 years....This has been such a simple complete UPGRADE to our daily routine and makes our barn life SO much easier. Don't wait - just do it, you'll be happy you did!

Used for my driveway gate, works great!

Works great, the best one way latch out there. I used it on a 5ft tube gate with a wood 4x4 post fence for horses. I use their 2 way latch on the bigger tube gates and like those too.
