The Heavy Duty Galvanized Cantilever Gate Latch is designed specifically for sliding cantilever chain link gates used in commercial, municipal, and industrial perimeter fencing. This latch mounts to a 3" or 4" latch post and is factory-offset to align properly with standard 2" round cantilever gate frames, ensuring consistent engagement when the gate closes.
Manufactured from heavy duty galvanized malleable steel, this latch delivers superior strength and long-term resistance to rust and corrosion. Its robust construction makes it ideal for high-traffic environments such as warehouses, equipment yards, secured facilities, and commercial properties where reliability is critical.
If the ability to lock these latches is required, pair with a Heavy Duty Cantilever Gate Locking Piece which installs on the gate frame and enables a pad lock (sold separately) to be used to secure the gate to a post.
