Sophisticated Design

Gate Latch

The EZ Fence Gate Latch fits a wide range of gates, including the Steel Board Gates and any other vinyl, wood, or pipe-style gate. It includes the equipment to lock the gate using a standard padlock and a convenient loop to hang the lock when not in use.

This “horse-proof” latch will prevent even the most curious horse intent on escaping from opening the gate, while also allowing easy open and close, even while riding.

Fence Gate Hatch Features

The EZ Gate Latch hardware assembly has a sophisticated design with unique features, including:

Two-Way Gate Latch Operation

Two-way gate latch operation lets gates be opened or closed from either direction while a person is on a horse. The internal heat-treated alloy steel drop-plates are lifted with a finger to open and drop when the gate is thrown closed.

Prevents Gate Lean

The latch pin rests on a stainless steel metal latch plate when the gate is closed, alleviating the weight on the gate post.

Corrosion-Free

The latch pin end is made with a shock-absorbing rubber bushing, covered with a stainless steel contact roller. Corrosion-resistant washers are included to adjust the pin horizontally up to 1.5 inches. The entire powder-coated housing is made in a strong cast-aluminum alloy.

Fully Adjustable

Gate latch housing has upper and lower mount bosses that allow for vertical adjustments anytime during and after installation. The mount-pin is furnished with 7 thick adjustment washers to allow easy proper pin-to-latch engagement.

Gate Latch Hardware

The EZ Fence Gate Latch includes the latch pin assembly, an internal mounting plate, and hardware.

Like the Steel Board Fence, the EZ Gate Latch is offered in textured black and gloss white powder-coat. The versatile design makes it easy to use on most wood gates or vinyl fence systems, including any round-pipe post and the Steel Board Fence system.

With the EZ Fence Gate Latch, you can trust that your gate will be held closed securely, and can be opened easily by you—and not your horse.

EZ Latch and Ground Anchor combination for dual gates.
A Two-Way EZ Latch housing is mounted onto the gate with the ground anchor. This allows for quick opening and closing of one gate and the ability to open both when needed.
Two-Way Gate Latch This is mostly used for setups where you need the dual-gate opening-width to move equipment in and out, but frequently have people and horses moving through only one of the gates. The EZ Latch even allows a rider to open and close the gate while still on their horse.VB edit - Gate Open EZ Latch housing
