New Latch Fits All Types Of Fences
The Universal Gate Latch is Tony Dinatale’s latest idea for making life easier on a farm or ranch. We first met the Deer Park, Wash., inventor more than 10 years ago when he told FARM SHOW readers about his “Fastest Fence Staple Puller in the West” (Vol. 30, Issue 6).
Dinatale says his latch is as useful as his staple puller.
“I have several gates on the ranch with chains holding them shut on fixed latches that do not adjust. I decided to develop a latch that would fit any type of gate, wood or metal,” he explains. “I wanted it to be adjustable vertically and horizontally, because posts have a way of moving. So it can be adjusted up to 1 in. after mounting.”
Made of powder-coated steel and mounted with stainless steel hardware, it is built to last in any weather.
An upright lever makes it easy to open while on horseback or with an elbow when carrying something.
“Another big factor is the spacing between the post and fence,” Dinatale says. “The latch works from 1 1/4 in. to 5 in. That makes it easier to mount.”
After 5 years of testing and 4 revisions, he recently began marketing his patent-pending latch. Dinatale sells the latches (with mounting instructions) for $25 (plus $5 shipping).
