Polished Casting Pressed Gate Latch Fork, Color : Grey

Pressed steel gate fork latches are widely used in chain link fencing systems to secure gates efficiently and affordably. This is combination of Fork and Collar with carriage bolts. Here's a breakdown of their key uses:

• Gate Locking Mechanism: The fork latch secures the gate by dropping over a latch post or frame, holding it closed through gravity or manual placement.
• Padlock Compatibility: Most designs include a hole for a padlock, allowing users to lock the gate for added security—ideal for residential, commercial, or industrial properties.
• Corrosion Resistance Often galvanized or powder-coated, these latches resist rust and environmental wear, ideal for outdoor use.
• Quick and Easy Installation: Typically mounted with carriage bolts or U-bolts to the gate frame and post—no welding or special tools required.
• Low-Maintenance Operation: The gravity-based design means fewer moving parts, reducing the chance of mechanical failure and simplifying upkeep.
• Versatile Gate Applications: Used on single swing gates, double drive gates (with drop rods), and even temporary fencing setups.
