This professional grade adjustable nesting receiver is purpose-built for cantilever and other sliding chain link gates used with automation. The wide-mouth throat helps guide the gate upright into the latch, while the 4"–8-1/2" lateral adjustment makes field alignment straightforward. A hot-dip galvanized finish over robust steel construction provides long-term durability for commercial and industrial sites.

Why Choose This

• Standards-minded design for automated gates — aligns with ASTM F2200 & UL 325 practices when installed correctly
• Faster installs — broad adjustability reduces shimming and rework
• Long service life — galvanized steel receiver and welded frame stand up to daily use and weather
• Reliable closing — nesting profile helps ensure consistent, repeatable engagement

Specifications

Installation

Mount the receiver to a 4" round latch post using the included U-bolt style hardware (or per your kit). Set the lateral offset (4"–8-1/2") so the gate upright (2"–2-3/8" O.D.) nests smoothly into the receiver. Tighten hardware, cycle the gate to verify clearances, and finalize alignment. For automated systems, complete entrapment protection and all safety devices per your operator and site specification.

Buying Guide

• Confirm sizes: Gate upright must be 2"–2-3/8" O.D.; latch post must be 4" round.
• Plan the offset: Measure from the post face to the gate upright centerline; ensure it falls within 4"–8-1/2".
• Automation notes: Use with a compliant automated gate system and required safety devices (photo eyes/edges) per UL 325 / ASTM F2200 practices.
• Environment: Galvanized steel is suitable for outdoor commercial duty; inspect hardware periodically, especially in corrosive environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What gate sizes does this fit?

It’s designed for gate uprights from 2" to 2-3/8" O.D. and mounts to a 4" round latch post.

How much adjustment is available?

The receiver adjusts laterally from 4" to 8-1/2" (post face to receiver center) to fine-tune alignment.

Is this latch suitable for automated gates?

Yes. It’s intended for automated cantilever/slide gates and meets ASTM F2200 & UL 325 when installed as part of a compliant system.

Is this a lockable latch?

No. This is a nesting receiver for automated systems. If you need a padlockable solution for manual gates, choose a manual cantilever nesting latch (sold separately).

Can I use a manual gate catch on an automated gate?

No. Manual latches are not designed for automated gates. Use a safe-design receiver guide/receiver intended for automation.

Comparison
