Kwikset 3277-26D Square Gate Latch Satin Chrome

Product Description

The KWIKSET 3277-26D is a square gate latch finished in satin chrome, designed for residential gate and door applications. This latch provides a spring-loaded latching mechanism suitable for wood, vinyl, or metal gate installations where a clean, angular profile is required. The satin chrome finish offers corrosion resistance for exterior use. At 0.2 pounds, the latch is lightweight and straightforward to handle during installation. The 2.25-inch backset fits standard residential gate and door prep. Locksmiths, carpenters, and general contractors are the typical trades installing this hardware.

This gate latch is suited for residential exterior gates, fence doors, and light-duty access points. The square styling is appropriate for modern or contemporary gate designs where a traditional oval latch would not match the architectural detail. The satin chrome finish coordinates with brushed nickel and similar muted metallic hardware on the surrounding structure. It is sold individually and is intended for single-gate installations.

Installation is typically performed by a carpenter, locksmith, or general contractor using standard hand tools.
