Chain Link Fence Gate Latches
Gate latches are an easy and effective way to add security to your chain link fence. However, not all gate latches are the same. At Chain Link Fittings, we offer a wide range of gate latches that are suited to fit various applications.
Your style of gate, reason for needing a latch, and requirements for the latch will all determine which gate latch is best for your installation. To learn more about gate latches and which will work best for your gate, check our list below.
Wall Mount Gate Latch
Wall mount gate latches are a great option for those who want to install a gate to the side of a building or home. Unlike other gate latches that must be attached to a fence post, wall mount latches bolt right to a wall, column, or wood post. Our wall-mount latches are made from heavy-duty steel that has been hot-dipped galvanized to prevent rust and corrosion when exposed to the elements. These latches are easy to install and come in a wide selection of sizes to fit gate posts from 1 3/8” to 4”.
Key Features:
- Sized from 1 3/8" to 4"
- Galvanized steel
- Pre-dilled holes for easy installation.
- Mounts directly on a wall or wood post.
- Latches come fully assembled.
Chain Link Fence Drop Fork Latches
A drop fork latch is what one may call the traditional chain link fence gate latch. This model of the latch is mounted directly to your chain link fence, and then its u-shaped level latch secures onto your gate post when closed. Drop latches are easy to install and reliable, making locking up your outdoor gate a simple task. For extra security, these latches can be padlocked.

Pool Auto Latches
For those with gates that grant access to a body of water like pools, lakes, or beaches, it is important to install a gate latch that prevents little children or pets from getting in without adult supervision. The best latch for this type of gate is an auto-latch. This latch style will automatically lock behind you when it is closed, so you will never have to worry about it accidentally being left open. The auto-latch was also designed so children cannot reach the pull lever needed to unlock the latch while an adult is not around.
