Qwikee Gate Latch for Livestock Extra Gate Protection

Yes I love this latch and have started to replace all my old chains and snaps with this. Easy to open with one hand and horses cannot figure out how to get it open. Perfect!

These were just what I needed. Match the ones the fence company used on my pasture gates. I added them to the backyard gates to keep my Houdini German Sheperd from jumping up and opening the latches.

Solidly constructed and well thought out.

This latch is known to me as the kiwi latch. It used to be sold locally, but not anymore. It doesnt freeze shut, if a post shifts you can still use it, horses cannot get it open (not even our resident houdini), easy one handed use, very hard to break. This model came with a decent chain as well. We do not use the included u staples, but instead sturdy eyelets. To use the latch, just drop it straight in the eyelet to latch the gate. To open it, flip the ring up and lift. Super simple. Ive seen horses hit a gate hard enough to pull those u staples right out. There are different ways to attach it to a post: Use a screw/bolt and washer into wood gates, wrap the chain around the tube gate and use a spin latch to secure it, or use a chain link fence brace band or tension band (I used the tension bands to have the chain further from the gate- less noise) and bolt the latch chain to the band. One of the photos hides the eyelet that is secured in a 6 inch post. The white in front is an arbor we have on the human side of the gate.

Works great for my dog gates. Easy use for even the grandkids.

Works good. Except the over sized staple won’t go into a hedge post with out bending

Love these. Easy one hand for all, but horses cant open.

Initially, I purchased a few to try on my gates and upon installing wondered how I never did without. I immediately purchased enough for all my gates in every pasture. It truly makes gate operation one handed.

Heavier than some others weve gotten other places. Best price Ive found. Pleasantly surprised! We have these on all gates that goats can access because its one of 2 types that dairy goats cant open. Arrived promptly, too.

This thing is better than I expected! I was very surprised by the large size of it. The picture doesnt do it justice at all. Works with my goats pushing against it all the time and even a horse! I will be buying 3 more of these for all my gates.
