Galvanized Heavy Duty Walk Gate Strong Arm Latches are engineered for securing commercial and industrial chain link walk gates. Commonly used on perimeter fencing, warehouse enclosures, equipment yards, storage facilities, and municipal properties, these latches provide dependable gate closure and padlock security.
Constructed from heavy gauge galvanized steel, the strong arm latch resists rust and stands up to high-use environments. U-bolts securely clamp to 1-5/8" or 2" gate frames, while the swing-down arm wraps around the gate to hold it firmly against the post. Pre-drilled padlock holes on both sides allow the gate to be secured from either direction.
