National Mfg N101-352 Zinc Gate Latch Out Swinging

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N101-352 is a zinc gate latch designed for out-swinging gate applications. The angled bar design allows the latch to engage automatically as the gate closes, eliminating the need to manually set the latch after entry or exit. The strike can be mounted on either the post or the gate frame, giving installers flexibility to work with existing hardware layouts. A hole punched in the release lever accommodates a rigging cord for remote release from the opposite side of the gate. Mounting screws are included.

This latch is suited for residential and light commercial fence gate installations where an out-swinging gate configuration is required. It handles right-hand and left-hand applications without modification, making it a practical choice for single or paired gate setups. The latch can be padlocked for added security, which is common in yard enclosures, pool gates, and utility areas. Supplied in a package of 5 units, it is well suited for contractors managing multiple gate installations on a single job site.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a fence contractor or general tradesperson using basic hand tools. Power down any electrically operated gate operators before working on gate hardware. Mount the strike to the post or gate frame first, then align the latch body for proper engagement before final fastening. Verify the rigging cord path if remote release is required before closing the gate panel.
