How It Compares
Compared With Manual drop latches
An automatic latch closes itself. A drop latch relies on someone remembering, which is where most livestock escapes start.
Use Guide
- Hang the latch so the gate closes into it without lifting; the latch is designed for out-swing gates.
- Run a cord through the release lever if the gate has to be opened from the far side.
