Installation – Some latches will require a professional to install, while others can simply be screwed into place. Bob Vila has been America’s Handyman since 1979.

As the name suggests, a pool latch is used in gates that are near water. It’s a safety device that prevents children from opening the gate.

Not all gate-latch hardware is rated for outdoor application. Raw metals like steel will rust and corrode, and they’ll only last a season or two. It’s important to find hardware made from materials that will last, like stainless steel or bronze, or metals with protective coatings such as zinc plating or powder-coat paint.Gates in chain-link fences require specially designed gate latches like this model from Jake Sales. This latch attaches in seconds, requiring just tightening the nuts on the U-bolt to hold it in place. Whether a fence is wood, metal, or PVC, it’s likely to shift a bit between the seasons and temperature changes. Also, as a gate ages it will likely sag a bit. For that reason, the best gate latch for a particular application might include a degree of adjustability. Also known as a butterfly latch, this style of latch is commonly used on commercial and residential gates with medium-to-heavy traffic flow.
