The KOTARBAU Double Gate Latch is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts who require a robust, heavy-duty locking mechanism for garden gates, driveway gates, or wooden door frames. Its primary strength lies in its durable powder-coated steel construction and versatile bidirectional installation, providing reliable security for both indoor and outdoor environments. While the latch offers superior strength, users should note that the heavy-duty design necessitates proper structural support for the gate frame to ensure optimal operation.

This latch is designed for standard swing gates and is optimized for left or right-hand opening. It is not intended for bidirectional swinging gates.
The package includes the latch components. Depending on the material of your gate (wood vs. metal), you may need to source specific fasteners that match your frame depth.
The powder-coated finish offers high resistance to corrosion, but regular cleaning is recommended to prevent salt accumulation from degrading the coating over time.
The total length of the unit is 430 mm.
While the powder-coated finish is durable, you can paint over it if you wish, provided you lightly sand the surface and use a metal-compatible exterior primer and paint.
Check the alignment of the two mounting plates. If the plates are not perfectly parallel, the bar will bind. Adjust the mounting position slightly to ensure smooth movement.
This is often caused by damaged coating during screw installation. Use a small amount of outdoor-rated touch-up paint to seal the exposed metal.
Installation of the KOTARBAU Double Gate Latch can be performed by most users with basic mechanical skills. You will need a drill, drill bits suitable for your mounting surface, and a screwdriver or impact driver.
Care Instructions:
To maintain the powder-coated finish, periodically wipe the latch with a soft cloth. If the mechanism becomes stiff, apply a light, silicone-based lubricant to the moving parts. Regularly inspect the mounting screws for tightness, especially during seasonal temperature changes which can cause wood to expand or contract.
