V6201 LTCH BLK N346-201 4-9/16" LokkLatch Automatic Keyed Gate Lock Latch in Black

I originally had installed a standard £5 automatic gate latch on this, but the force of the gate closing kept on pulling out the screws of the rod bit of the latch. I tried fixing it twice by drilling into the gate and gluing in a hardwood dowel to which I would screw the rod to, but even that failed eventually.In the end I decided to bite the bullet and purchase this and haven't looked back. It may seem like a simple idea of having additional screws perpendicular to the direction of the force (i.e. screws in the side of the gate), but this is the only latch I could find which had this. And latch build quality it superb and the whole thing is solid and seems like it will last for years. It does also have a lock & key mechanism, but I don't bother using it on this small gate.

High quality latch. Yes it's expensive, but fit it once and forget it.

Perfect lock, Can be locked and unlocked easy, or even just Left unlocked and used normal but adds a little safty

Seams ok bit flimsy compared to metal one

Worth every penny.
