Gate Latch
A gate latch is a simple mechanical device used to secure a gate in a closed position. It typically consists of a metal or plastic hook that engages with a catch or plate, preventing the gate from swinging open. Gate latches are commonly found in residential and commercial settings, providing safety and privacy.
There are various types of gate latches, including slide latches, spring-loaded latches, and padlockable latches. Each type serves the same basic purpose but may differ in design and security features. Proper installation and maintenance of a gate latch ensure its effectiveness and longevity.
