Product Code:

The Unifix Automatic Gate Latch is so called because if you swing the gate shut behind you then the gate automtically engages the catch and stays shut and as such tends to work well with a gate spring. The pack comprises of a latch/receiver that is usually fitted to the gate post and a striker pin that fits to the gates, the auto gate latch is fitted quite quickly as only needs screwing to the gate and post. The auto gate catch can also be used as a very simple method of locking your gate, simply add a small padlock (not supplied) to the hole directly above the mouth of the latch. Available in heavy duty, bright zinc plated carbon steel (BZP) and includes all the fixings necessary for mounting. 

*The size refers to width of the main body of the latch.

Instructions / Feeding Guide

How to fit an automatic gate latch:

These latches lock automatically when a gate is closed, hence their name. Fitting these latches is easy - simply install your catch, marking out the holes for the screws, drilling and securing this component into place. Do the same with the horizontal strike bar, ensuring the two components align. If done correctly, the bar should fall into the catch when the gate is closed.

Step 1: Drill a hole for the spindle - you may need to lift your gate off its hinges and use a spade bit.

Step 2: Install the front handle - put the spindle into the front half of the ring latch handle. Poke this through the hole you have just drilled, ensuring the handle plate is flat against the gate. Drill pilot holes for your screws and fix the handle plate to your gate. Trim the spindle if it is too long for your gate and it prevents the back plate from sitting flush against the gate.

Step 3: Install the back handle - screw the back plate into place.

Step 4: Install the latch keeper - slide the keeper over the tongue and place it against the frame of the gate, screwing into place.

Step 5: Install the catch plate - you should install this on the frame of the gate as opposed to the door, and it should be installed so the tongue sits in the catch. Once the tongue falls into the correct place in the catch, this is what locks the two elements of the gate together. Your installation is now complete.
