Spring-loaded latches or swivels

Built to last a lifetime

UNCONDITIONAL LIFETIME WARRANTY

How it works

Spring-loaded latches are positive locking and are secure, free from loosening from vibrations. Upon closing the gate with a spring-loaded latch, the plunger snaps into place, forced by the pressure of the spring to latch securely.

Installation

Our spring-loaded gate latch is unconditionally guaranteed against breakage for life. The latch should last a lifetime with only an occasional lubrication of the plunger and housing.
