Chain Link Fork Latch Wall Bracket, Galvanized, Works on Any Flat Surface

Product Description

Chain Link Fork Latch Wall Bracket — Galvanized, Mounts to Any Flat Surface

• Turn a Wall into a Latch Post — Mounts a standard fork-style chain link gate latch to flat surfaces (masonry, wood, or steel)
• Fence-Contractor Grade — Galvanized steel bracket chosen by professionals for outdoor durability
• Clean, Secure Catch — Provides a rigid, consistent strike point for fork latches to seat and stay closed
• Universal Orientation — Works with typical fork latches on left- or right-hand swing gates
• Hardware by Substrate — Use anchors/lag bolts suited to your wall material (not included)

When there’s no latch post, this galvanized wall bracket lets you catch a fork-style chain link gate latch directly on a flat surface for a tidy, professional-grade closure. It’s a handy solution for gates that swing to a building face, wood column, or block wall. For matched wall-mount hardware on the hinge side, pair with our male wall-plate hinge. Choose wall anchors from our bolts & fasteners section to suit your substrate.

Why Choose This

• Professional finish — Keeps the fork latch aligned for reliable latching day in, day out
• Rugged build — Galvanized steel stands up to weather and daily use
• Flexible installs — Works on concrete, block, wood framing, or steel plate with appropriate anchors

Specifications

Installation

Hang and align the gate first. Hold the bracket at the strike point so the fork latch centers cleanly in the opening. Mark holes, drill for your substrate, and fasten with suitable anchors/lag bolts. Test close and adjust bracket position as needed for smooth engagement and full fork capture. Re-tighten fasteners after initial use.

Buying Guide

• Wall substrate: Use sleeve anchors for concrete/block, lag screws for solid wood, or machine screws with tapped holes/backs for steel.
• Latch type: This is the receiver for fork-style latches. If you’re mounting a gate to a wall on the hinge side as well, see the male wall-plate hinge.
• Security & clearance: Verify the fork fully seats and that the gate clears trim, downspouts, or wall irregularities before final tightening.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this include bolts or anchors?

No. Choose fasteners based on your wall material (masonry, wood, steel) and expected loads.

Will this work with any fork latch?

It’s designed for standard fork-style chain link latches used on residential and light-commercial gates.

Can I use it outdoors?

Yes. The galvanized finish is intended for outdoor service.

Which way should it face?

Align so the latch fork centers and fully captures the bracket opening when the gate closes.

Can I mount to metal siding or thin sheet?

Only if you fasten into structure behind the sheet (studs, girts, or a welded plate) that can handle the load.
