National Mfg N236-729 Stall Gate Latch Spring Action 5 Pack

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N236-729 is a spring-action stall and gate latch designed for use on swinging or sliding doors and gates in agricultural and livestock environments. The automatic retractable bolt mechanism allows hands-free entry clearing, which is critical for livestock protection and high-traffic gate operation. Finished in black, this latch is built for right-hand or left-hand door configurations. It ships in a package quantity of five units, making it practical for multi-stall or multi-gate installations.

This latch is suited for barn stalls, paddock gates, stable enclosures, and similar agricultural structures where reliable, self-latching hardware is required. The spring-action design reduces the chance of gates being left unlatched, which is a common concern in livestock facilities. The retractable bolt clears the entry path automatically, supporting smooth operation even when hands are full. Installers working on farm facilities, equestrian operations, or rural outbuildings will find this latch applicable across a range of gate and door types.
