LokkLatch Deluxe Gate Latch

Top seller

As a longtime fence and gate installer, the Lokk-Latch Deluxe has been my go-to for all customers who want something more secure than a simple gravity latch but something less expensive and less fussy than, for example, digital deadbolts. The only concerns that keep me from giving this product a 5-star rating are the following: One, the product can seize and stop working when wood naturally swells with the weather, necessitating a service call to loosen the mounting screws, giving the mechanism some room to move again. Two, I wish the gravity latch portion of the product had a wider mouth to better accommodate the natural sag of even the most well-built gates, so it would be nice if the tolerances within the mouth could manage a small mount of downward motion to lower the number of gate adjustments needed to keep the latch working. Overall, these are small items that are easy for pro installers to fix, but it would be nice not to have to fix them at all.
