The Abbey Trading 6020073 10.5-inch Post-Mount Gate Latch is a specialized, heavy-duty latching solution engineered specifically for mounting onto a gate post, providing a stable and secure closing point for larger exterior gates.

• Post-Mount Design: Unlike face-mounted latches, this version is specifically configured to attach to the side of a gate post. This allows for better alignment and mechanical advantage, making it an ideal choice for gates that need to swing flush with the post or require a specific clearance to latch securely.

• 10.5-Inch Length: The extended length of the assembly provides the necessary reach to span the gap between the gate and the post. This extra length helps ensure the latch engages reliably even if there is slight shifting or sagging in the gate post over time.

• Black Finish: The durable black finish provides a professional, uniform aesthetic that coordinates perfectly with other black Abbey hardware, while also serving as a protective barrier against weathering and corrosion for long-term outdoor performance.

• Heavy-Duty Security: This latch is built to withstand the physical stress of gate operation, including wind resistance and repetitive opening/closing cycles. Its sturdy construction ensures the gate remains locked firmly in the closed position, preventing unwanted swinging or flapping.

• Complete Installation: The kit includes the necessary screws, making it a "ready-to-install" hardware package. This ensures you have the correct fasteners to mount the latch directly to your timber post for a secure, professional-grade setup.
