Fork Latches are the most common latch type for a Chain Link Gate. Latches are made of malleable steel and protected from rust by their hot dip galvanize zinc coating. Locking a Fork Latch is easy because each latch has an opening where it can receive a padlock or similar type of locking mechanism. Installing a fork latch is as simple as removing the included bolt, positioning the latch on the gate frame, and tightening the bolt.

I got this to replace a missing gate latch on a tennis court nearby; this latch fit perfectly and now the gate won't blow open in the wind! Solidly made and looks great!
