This 2-way latch was very easy to install requiring only 4 lag screws for my application. It quickly latches when the gate is pushed from either direction. It has a great looking paint coat for the body and the latch arms appear to be very good zinc chromate coated. It has a padlock feature where you can add your padlock for added security. Be sure you know the diameter of the pipe on your gate before you order. These come in more than one size for different pipe diameters on your gate. I highly recommend this latch.

I mounted this latch to hold a twenty foot long, eight foot tall, chain link gate with security slats. The gate is a beast to hold in place in high wind. My old fork latch has failed at holding the gate a few times by being bent open in high wind, but I don't expect to have the same problem with this SpeeCo latch. It does take up more space between the gate and post than a fork latch does, but the gap might be adjusted by angling hinges if you're mounting the latch to a pre-existing gate. I can't put a link here, but I did make a youtube video showing the steps I had to take to get this rascal mounted. "SpeeCo Farm Latch to Replace My Old Fork Latch"

Use a 2 inch, foot long metal pipe; drill press three holes in the pipe. Mount the pipe on the flat frame gate so that it operates with the latch. Easy fix for an old style gate. The latch is genus
