The Heavy Duty Dumpster Gate Latch is engineered for dumpster enclosures, commercial trash gates, service yards, storage areas, and restricted-access gate applications where durability and security matter. Its one-sided flip latch design allows controlled entry from a single direction — a common requirement for dumpster gates and managed access enclosures.
Constructed from zinc-plated steel with a black finish, this professional-grade dumpster gate latch is built to withstand daily use in demanding environments. The included stainless steel through-bolt mounting hardware provides a stronger and more secure attachment than surface-mounted screws alone, making it well suited for commercial properties, multi-family housing, and industrial facilities.
For installations requiring a Made-in-the-USA comparable heavy-duty alternative, see our DAC Industries Sentry Latch Heavy Duty Dumpster Gate Latch, another professional-grade access solution.
