To circumvent the locking of the gate, could a potential thief simply loosen the bolts attaching the pin to the gate?

Yes but pending how far the gate slides into the sleeve, you might not be able to pull the gate open enough to pull it out of the sleeve with the pin, even with the bolts missing. But thinking of it that way a pair of bolt cutters or battery grinder is gonna you past the lock too.. I used this just on a farm gate where a lock wasn't needed so I didn't even have to use the locking feature.

What size is the bolt/pipe that goes into the latch? I need something like this for a project I'm currently working on. Thanks

John... I had to ask my husband... for this was for him to use on our farm/ranch corrals. He said it is a inch shaft. Hope this answer helps you in what your wanting to know.

I was wondering how you release this lock? Do you have to drill through the mounting post and run a cord through? Some one mentioned 'pulling a cord'?

There is no cord, the lock simply connects the gate to the post. All you have to do is push at the top of the mechanism and it will open. My pigs still haven't figured it out. I like them, but I like the blue two way latches better. Good luck.

It looks like it has to mount with the latch facing in the direction the gate opens? Rather than facing across the gate opening?

Yes on the direction of gate pull.I use these on calfing pens. Your gate can swing either way. As shown however your gate opening between posts is somewhat not as wide. Great product for a gate that swings one way. I think speech models are not made on the USA.
