Lockey SGLDS Sumo Double Sided Gravity Gate Latch

Product Description

The LOCKEY SGLDS is a double-sided gravity gate latch designed for reliable, self-latching operation on swing gates. When a gate closes, gravity automatically drops the latch into the catch — no springs to wear out and no manual operation required. The SGLDS is built for outdoor gate applications where consistent, low-maintenance latching is critical. It installs on both sides of the gate, providing access and egress from either face. Measuring 10 inches in length, 7.8 inches in width, and 3.4 inches in height, the unit ships as a single assembly and is suited for installation by gate contractors, fence installers, and security professionals.

The SGLDS is appropriate for residential and light commercial swing gate installations, including pool fence gates, yard enclosures, and access-controlled entry points. Its double-sided design makes it particularly useful where entry and exit from both sides of the gate is required without a separate release mechanism on each face. The gravity-driven latch mechanism functions in a wide range of weather conditions, making it a practical choice for outdoor installs in varied climates.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed fence contractor or gate installer. Before mounting, confirm the gate frame is plumb and the swing path is unobstructed to ensure proper gravity engagement. Fasten all mounting hardware securely to structural gate members rather than infill panels. Follow applicable local building codes and, for pool enclosures, BOCA or IRC pool barrier requirements governing self-latching gate hardware.
