The Hillman Zinc-Plated Slide Action Gate Latch is the classic, heavy-duty solution for securing everything from backyard gates to farm enclosures like sheds, barns, and livestock pens. This latch is built from sturdy steel and coated with a zinc plating to resist weather and rust, which is a must-have for any outdoor application around the farm or home. The simple slide action mechanism is reliable and easy to operate, even with one hand or while wearing gloves. Crucially, the design includes a hole built into the housing, which allows you to secure the latch with a padlock, giving you an extra layer of protection against unauthorized access or strong winds.

Additional Information
When installing this slide action latch, opt for carriage bolts over wood screws for maximum security and durability, especially on wooden gates and sheds. The square shoulder under the carriage bolt head digs into the wood, preventing the bolt from spinning when you tighten the nut. Also, make sure to align the bolt and keeper components perfectly on both the gate frame and the post; even a slight misalignment can cause the latch to bind, making it difficult to slide open and closed.
