The gate latches and unlatches easily but stays locked until you open it yourself. I reccomend. Review: Think Outside the Box - I know this is an outdoor fence lock but my kids kept ripping my baby gate out of the wall. I hate the way it lifted and pushed into its original mechanism so I tried this instead. So easy to install and even easier to quickly, and safely shut my baby gate for a solid, sturdy, fit that keeps my aesthetic on brand LOL ## Features - AUTOMATIC GATE LATCH: Self latching gate latch mechanism provides hands-free convenience for farm gate latch applications, delivering reliable automatic gate latch engagement every time you close your gate. - VERSATILE GATE HARDWARE: Black gate latch design works for both right and left hand applications on out-swing gates, doors, and animal pens, making this fence gate hardware ideal for multiple outdoor fence installations. - SECURE LATCH FOR GATE: Gate latch lock feature allows padlock compatibility for enhanced security, while the strike can be mounted on either the gate or post to accommodate various fence latches for gates configurations. - COMPLETE FENCE GATE LATCH: 1-pack includes all necessary mounting screws for immediate installation, designed specifically as gate latch for outdoor fence applications with durable black finish for weather resistance. - DUAL MOUNTING OPTIONS: Door latch strike component offers flexible installation choices, allowing mounting on gate or post depending on your specific fence gate hardware requirements and structural preferences. - QUALITY: National Hardware brand ensures over a century of manufacturing excellence with color-coded labeling system for easy identification, backed by proven innovation and superior product standards. - 5" Gate hook - Made of steel - Rust resistant - Zinc plated ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000FPAPT6 | | Best Sellers Rank | #73,640 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #225 in Gate Latches | | Brand | National Hardware | | Brand Name | National Hardware | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 731 Reviews | | Exterior Finish | Black | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00038613101333 | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 3.03"L x 3"W x 1"H | | Item Type Name | Automatic Gate Latches | | Item Weight | 18.14 g | | Manufacturer | National Hardware | | Manufacturer Part Number | N101-337 | | Material | Metal | | Material Type | Metal | | Model Number | N101-337 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 3.03"L x 3"W x 1"H | | Recommended Uses For Product | Out-swing gates, doors, and animal pens | | Shape | shape | | UPC | 038613101333 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** National Hardware - **Color:** Black - **Exterior Finish:** Black - **Material:** Metal - **Product Dimensions:** 3.03"L x 3"W x 1"H ## Images ![National Hardware Automatic Self Latching Gate Latch, Steel, Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61wpwT955RL.jpg) ![National Hardware Automatic Self Latching Gate Latch, Steel, Black - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51gyMLoX6ML.jpg) ![National Hardware Automatic Self Latching Gate Latch, Steel, Black - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71N6-5ioLfL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can you put a padlock on it to lock it** A: Yes..absolutely! **Q: Would this work for keeping open a bedroom door?** A: Like the other respondent said, a little modification may be necessary to mount the latch/strike on a hollow core interior door, depending on where you'd be mounting the latch. Any reason why a simple magnetic/friction doorstop won't work? **Q: What is the diameter of the post? I have a post which is 17/32" on an existing gate and need a latch which will accommodate it.** A: I would say yes. As there is room around the latch when it is closed to allow for some wiggle room. **Q: How long is the locking bar (ball end)?** A: about 2" ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great latch *by L***9 on October 19, 2025* It worked great.
