Our wooden gate latches feature a quick-release system that works without a cable – just with your finger or thumb. The latch handle can be mounted on the left or right side. The set comes with all parts and accessories, including 6 black steel screws for easy installation. The 12 cm long handle has a self-closing function and is compatible with all types of outdoor gates (large and small), including wood, metal, wrought iron, vinyl, and PVC. You can use a manual gate opener. Automatic locking on all decorative gates in your garden, patio, child gate, privacy fence, or even chicken coop door. It can also be used with a standard padlock (not included) for added security.
