The National Hardware N236-729 is a spring-action stall and gate latch built for reliable, hands-free operation on right- or left-hand swinging gates. This heavy-duty steel latch automatically retracts its bolt when released, allowing smooth entry and exit without manual effort. Whether securing livestock enclosures, barn doors, or agricultural gates, this latch delivers dependable performance in demanding outdoor environments while reducing stress on both animals and handlers.
Spring-action latches solve the problem of gates swinging open unexpectedly or requiring constant manual re-securing. This design keeps gates closed automatically and can be opened with a simple fingertip push or pull, making daily farm operations faster and safer. The durable steel construction with black powder-coat finish resists rust and corrosion, ensuring long-term reliability with minimal maintenance even in harsh weather.
