What are farm gate latches?
Farm gate latches are hardware fasteners used to keep farm and livestock gates securely closed. They are designed to withstand outdoor weather conditions and the pressure exerted by animals leaning, pushing, or rubbing against gates. A reliable gate latch is a critical biosecurity and animal safety component. Farm gate latches are manufactured from galvanized steel, stainless steel, or heavy-duty cast iron to resist corrosion and physical force.
What are the different types of farm gate latches?
- Double-action spring latches – Spring-loaded latches that automatically re-engage when the gate is pushed closed.
- Chain-and-hook latches – A simple looped chain and hook system.
- Bolt latches (barrel bolts) – A sliding bolt that drops into a receiver; secure and simple.
- Carabiner or snap latch – A spring-loaded clip that snaps over a pin or ring; often used as a secondary security measure.
- Deadbolt and padlock hasps – Used on gates requiring positive security against both animals and unauthorized human access.
- Bungee latch/loop latches – A rubber or bungee loop that hooks over a post.
- Lever or cam-action latches – Operate with a lever mechanism for secure and positive engagement.
- Horse-proof (pawl-and-pin) latches – Specifically designed to prevent horses from unlatching gates; require a multi-step or recessed action to open.
