I like this latch. It's easy to install, it latches reliably, the build quality is high EXCEPT ...... the latch spring fatigues and fails.I have bought 4 of these, a new one every 2 years. It works great until the spring snaps in two.It's a shame because the rest of the latch is fairly heavy-gauge. It looks like it could easily go 10-20 years. And, the spring is inside of the latch in such a way that you can't just replace it with a new one.

This is a great deal! I purchased the same things at a hardware store for over $30. I really like the functionality of this lock better. It’s easy to install and should fit most fences. I ordered this because the winter caused my fence to contract and the bar wouldn’t latch anymore. This is perfect.

Easy to install... Although instructions said 3/16" drill bit for the cable but I had to bigger to get it to fit. No biggie. Best feature for me is the long strike latch which at 6" is much better than standard 4.25"-4.75".

Solid, easy to install, opens from inside and outside, can be locked with a padlock, looks great, AND priced so well! Fast shipping!

You cannot find this in stores, I looked in all the major stores. I needed an extra long bolt because I widened the space between the post and gate edge. I measured the bolt and it is 5 1/2 inches long-not the 6 inches noted in the advertisement diagram. This length was adequate for my job. This latch is easy to install, very good quality. Under normal use or even extreme weather conditions, I cannot see the bolt breaking. The one review that showed a picture of a broken bolt should be discounted--When you see the size and quality of the bolt, you will understand.

I was getting tired of my wife nagging me about the side gate being left open, turns out the latch wasn't staying closed. Bought this and installed it in about 5 minutes. Works great, spring loaded to keep the latch closed, wish I would have purchased long long ago. Oh well, lesson learned.

Easy to install and was the cheapest price I can find even cheaper than my local big box hardware store

I had the cheapest quality gate latches installed, the gravity latch would not work well and we often found ourselves having to remember to lower the latching element manually or kids would just close the door hard to make it fall. It was frustrating to us all.I replaced both my gates with these latches, and they are durable and have served their purpose all year-round including during harsh Canadian winters.1. Installing this was a breeze and comes with all the hardware you need, including the sturdy metal cord that you use to pull-open the latch from outside.2. Gate posts shift, particularly in places where winters are harsh (most of Canada). The self-adjusting mechanism means the latching bar will still be functional during the worst of winter, and summer as it just adjusts when posts shift a bit.3. The spring-loaded latch works flawlessly every single time, and kids have been able to close the door without any issues, because the latch catches nicely every time.

Latches worked great but install instructions are very vague and not really helpful. The screws are trash. just buy some good black screws beforehand. I pre-drilled holes and still stripped three of the four I tries to install. After that I just used some I already had.l Mine came with something called a gravity latch that was not explained at all I called Nuvo and the the person on the phone did not know what it was either. Finally found someone that said he knew what it was but since I was in North Carolina I did not need this. That was the only explanation I got. Beyond that I like them and would buy more. I would give them 5 stars but for the screws and poor instructions.

This is a killer product with my only beef being the instructions are too minimal. I could not figure out the cable but they also included a cord to route through the gate post so I used that. I love that the latch has a hidden spring so you do not have to rely on gravity to close the latch. The generous long bar will force open the latch and it then the spring brings it down & home. 6" bars are nonexistent in the stores so I was thrilled to find it and have it be a high quality unit. I needed to pre-drill the holes because all screws nowadays will strip out unless you have very soft wood. I am happy I ordered two, one for my neighbors' gate (helping out the elderly sisters) and one for my stash in the garage. I will wait until my old gate latch dies and then install this winner. I would really like for them to provide an online instruction video for the cable system though. I am a retired navy computer tech and even I was confused...

This is exactly what I needed.Prior to this I had a gravity latch setup and had bought 2 different pull cables with springs in the last few months to try and make it work. They worked a few months each and eventually would fail because the way the cable is attached to the latch was not secure enough. Inevitably the cable would come loose and the spring would pop off and disappear.This product is great and far superior to the gravity latches. The spring is incorporated in the latch itself so it will never pop out. Also the cable that it comes with is secured with a key ring.Product seems simple but couldn’t find it in local stores.
