National Mfg N166-015 Heavy Duty Gate Latch Black

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N166-015 is a heavy duty gate latch finished in black, designed for exterior out-swing gates, doors, and animal pens. The black powder coat finish provides both aesthetic consistency and corrosion resistance through the manufacturer's Weatherguard Protection coating. Mounting hardware is included. The latch is configured for either right-hand or left-hand installation, making it adaptable to varied gate orientations without requiring additional hardware. This package contains 5 units, suited for contractors and service pros completing multi-gate installs in a single trip.

This latch is intended for exterior applications where weather exposure is a primary concern. Typical installs include residential and agricultural gate systems, perimeter fencing, and enclosure doors for animal pens. The Weatherguard Protection coating is engineered to resist moisture, UV, and temperature cycling that would degrade uncoated hardware over time. The included mounting hardware reduces job-site prep time and keeps the install straightforward for fence contractors and general tradespeople working in outdoor environments.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by fence contractors or general tradespeople using standard hand tools. Power down any electrically operated gate operators before beginning work on the latch or strike hardware. Ensure the gate frame is plumb and the latch aligns with the strike plate before final fastener tightening. Follow local building codes for exterior hardware requirements, particularly in high-wind or coastal zones where corrosion resistance ratings may be specified.
