N342-600 Automatic Gate Latch, Stainless Steel

The National Hardware N342-600 is an automatic gate latch made from premium stainless steel, designed for out-swing gates, doors, and animal pens. This latch solves the problem of gates that won't stay closed or require manual latching every time—it engages automatically after each swing, providing consistent security without extra effort.

Whether you're securing a garden gate, paddock, or livestock pen, this latch works for both right and left-hand applications. The trip release mechanism can be triggered by a light touch or a pulled cord, giving you flexibility in how you operate it. For added security, the latch can be padlocked, allowing you to prevent unauthorized access when needed.
