Garden Gate Security Latch: This latch is suitable for outward-opening wooden or metal gates. It uses a gravity-locking system to prevent predators from entering your garden. If you have children or pets, this latch is a must-have garden accessory. Material: This heavy-duty latch is made of heavy-gauge steel with a matte black powder-coated finish. Its robust, rust-resistant construction ensures a durable and reliable garden gate latch. The black coating reduces wear and damage.

The locking lever can be mounted on the left or right side. Black steel furniture screws are included for easy installation.
