No, this specific model is designed and intended for use on wooden garden and side gates.
Yes, the primary benefit of this product is the ability to operate the latch from either side of the gate.
The standard unit is an auto-gravity latch and does not include a key-locking cylinder.
You will typically need a drill, drill bits, a screwdriver, and a level.
Wipe the latch down periodically with a damp cloth to remove salt or dirt build-up from the outdoor environment.
The latch is designed for standard swing gates; check your gate hinge orientation to ensure the strike plate can be mounted correctly.
Check if the gate is sagging or the gate post is out of alignment; ensure the latch strike plate is properly aligned with the gravity bar.
Ensure the mounting screws are not overtightened, which can warp the plate, and apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the pivot point.
Verify that your gate dimensions are compatible with the product specifications before finalizing installation; consider if the gate material requires trimming.
Before beginning installation, measure the thickness of your wooden gate to ensure the operating bar is long enough to span the distance between both sides. Use a level during the mounting process to guarantee the strike plate and the latch mechanism are perfectly aligned.
For maintenance, periodically inspect the screws to ensure they remain tight, especially during seasonal temperature changes that can cause wood to expand or contract. If the mechanism becomes stiff, a light application of silicone-based lubricant on the pivot point will maintain smooth operation.
