How to fix outdoor gate latch and lock?

Hi there,

I have a side gate that currently doesn’t lock properly. The latch doesn’t hold the gate securely, and there is no spring tension — the gate can be opened regardless of the lock position. Is there a replacement for this type of latch?
Thanks

Re: Fix outdoor gate latch/lock

Hello @bh039 

 

I suggest looking at the MagnaLatch Pool Gate Latch Safety Kit with TruClose Hinges. This is a complete kit with locking latch and adjustable self-returning hinges. Your old latch will need to be removed in order for this set to be properly installed on your fence. 

 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
