Tired of your garden gate swinging open or being a hassle to secure? The HILLMASTER Thumb Gate Latch is the sturdy, smart solution you need. Made from thick, heavy-gauge steel with a tough black powder coat and zinc plating to fight rust, this latch is built to last through all kinds of weather. The clever gravity design means it self-latches when the bolt hits the strike plate – just push the gate shut and you're done. To open, a simple press of the thumb button releases it smoothly. It works for both inward and outward swinging gates and doors up to 3 inches thick. Installation is straightforward with the included hardware and instructions, and it works for left or right-handed setups. For extra security, you can move the latch bar or even add your own padlock (lock not included). Perfect for wooden backyard fences, vinyl gates, metal gates (use hard screws for metal), garden sheds, pool gates, barn doors, animal pens, chicken coops, and more. A reliable, professional-grade piece of hardware that adds security and a classic look to any outdoor space.
