With a pull of "The Latch" Gate Fastener's release pin, a person can open a gate easily, even from an ATV, or horseback. The device allows the gate to swing either direction and to self-latch when it shuts. Made of 3/16-inch steel, it has pre-drilled holes for mounting on wooden or metal posts, can be padlocked, and requires no gate hardware (just a 2¼ minimum distance between post and gate).
