Teen Invents Spring-Loaded Latch For Mom FENCING Gates 21-6-36 When teenager Shane Sroka of Bluffton, Alberta, got tired of listening to his mother complain about the hassle of opening and closing ranch gates, he decided to come up with a better design.
The result is a clever spring-loaded, hinged gate latch that you can open or close with one hand. The latch is made from strap iron and bolts to both sides of a squared-off fence post. It's hinged on one side and equipped with a V-shaped slot at one end. To shut the gate you simply push the gate post into the slot until it locks into place.
A one-handed tug on the hinged side of the latch easily releases the gate post.
Sroka sells the units for $24.95 (Canadian) plus tax and S&H.
