Today we show you exactly how to install a latch onto a farm or cattle gate. The slam latch is one of the best farm gate latches out there. Much better than that little chain that comes with the gate! 😂

I’ve used these too. Work good.
Thanks, pretty straight forward. Glad to know what I’m getting myself into 👍🏼
You're welcome!
I like the oneway latches too. I use both on my farm.
"So that's how you do that!" Thank you for being a humble guy and keeping it real.
Great bloopers. This is why you're the boss.
Thanks for posting great information. Looking to use same setup for residential picket fence with square tube frame and a 1 5/8 metal fence post .
Wow. I hated those latches because they twist. Your Genius has changed my mind. 2 simple screws will make the latches usable. I heart RUclips.... usually
Thanks for the video!
Great product and video! You guys are funny.
Thanks for watching!
Love the honesty❤ thanks for the video❤ John 3:16❤
I'm no gate guy but rather a locksmith that has fixed a whole lot of poorly installed hardware,
self tapping screws are the bain of a good installation/repair, much better to drill and tap for a proper machine screw.
If you install a lot of these, consider making some jigs with some hardened steel drill guide bushings.
Thank you for not editing out the good parts. Those are great latches.
You guys have a good damn day 😁
Thanks for the video. Is that a galvanized post? What diameter and where do I get one? Thank you.
Nice latch!
Thanks!
what size gap do you need between post and gate?
Put a self taping set screw in it and it won't twist
nice my former boss had these they were nice
Just curious if and when you guys install 6, 7 or 8 ft tall fences for example all the farm gates out there on the market that are affordable are only 4 feet tall really so what do you do to install taller ones or to make the shorter ones taller without paying a fortune for the rot iron ones?
Typically on a custom job like that we would make our own gate to accommodate the height of fence.
Do you have a video on how to install a latch on a dual gate?
For a farm gate? Sorry--no. (I'm sure this isn't what you're looking for but here's a double privacy vinyl gate: ruclips.net/video/3ypIPmPFA7Y/видео.html)
I wonder how these are in snow & ice…
How much clearance do you need between gate and post to install.
I believe 2 - 2 1/2 inches.
What size and length are the self tapping screws? #14 1.5 inch?
That was so long ago! I'm guessing a 5/16 (#14) and yes 1.5"
You should just include Hyenas as well Ha Ha!
Hard to find good help!
Yeah, but how does it hold up to alpacas?
Alpacas? Pssshaw! No problem. 😂
Hahaha
It's okay we all make mistakes
Don’t forget the Yak’s
Ooh! The yaks! Good point! 👍🏻😄
Just say No to sloppy gates😊

Goats are bad....I had one eat every connection off my trailer right after a total rewire....I was pretty hot. I charge extra to fence if the goats free range
That's my favorite latch too.
Sounds reasonable. 😄
Make gravity hinges and the gate will shut on its own....
Did you close the gate?
No! Gravity did.
Personally I can't stand those latches. There are way better weld on slam latches that don't require your hand to be in the pinch point of the gate.
To each his own. We love 'em. 👍🏻
