{"title":"Gate Latches","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe latch is the single most important piece of hardware on a gate - it needs to close positively every time without adjustment, hold firmly enough to prevent the gate from blowing open in wind, and release cleanly whether approached from inside or outside the boundary.

For gates that also need to be lockable, latch bodies with integral padlock shackle keepers allow the latch to be padlocked in the closed position for overnight security.
