One Handed Gate Latch

One handed gate latch FENCING Gates 17-1-36 This new self-locking gate latch offers one-handed operation from either side of the gate and, when released, allows the gate to swing in either direction. Gate latches automatically when it's closed. The gate latch consists of two parts - a latch pin that bolts onto the gate slightly above center, and a two-pronged latch mechanism that bolts onto the post. To open the gate you simply lift up one of the 1 prongs to release the latch pin, then swing the gate open. Latch can be locked with a padlock. Sells for $22. Also available is a "gate stopper" de-signed to hold any hinged gate in the open position. It consists of a steel rod held up by two steep flaps and a spring. You squeeze the flaps together to release the rod, then push it down into the ground. Keeps the gate open even in high winds. Sells for $10.
