National Mfg N101-121 Automatic Gate Latch 4.25in Satin Black

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N101-121 is an automatic gate latch designed for residential and light commercial gate installations. It features a 4.25-inch bar and arrives in a satin black finish that resists corrosion and blends with standard gate hardware. The latch operates automatically, engaging when the gate closes without requiring a manual throw. Mounting hardware is included — screws are packaged with the unit, reducing the need for a separate hardware run. Installation is straightforward and within reach of fencing contractors, general contractors, and experienced DIYers working on wood or metal gate assemblies.

This latch is suited for standard swing gates in residential fence lines, garden enclosures, pool surrounds, and light-duty commercial perimeter fencing. The automatic engagement mechanism makes it a practical choice for high-traffic gates where reliable latching without manual operation is required. The satin black finish coordinates with common decorative fence hardware. Each package contains 5 units, making it efficient for multi-gate projects or service truck restocking.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by fencing contractors or general tradespeople using basic hand tools. Confirm gate alignment and swing clearance before fastening to ensure the automatic mechanism seats properly. Follow all applicable local building codes for pool barrier and perimeter fencing hardware, particularly where self-latching gate requirements apply. Do not overtighten mounting screws into soft wood substrates — use appropriate anchors if the gate frame material is hollow or composite.
