“GateHands” Latches Catching On Fast
 |

 |
The latch cups the gate and uses the weight of the gate to keep everything lined up. A pin (or lock) secures it.
Since inventor Brad Fredrick introduced GateHands a couple years ago, he’s set up a small manufacturing plant in Ponca City, Okla., and added several models for larger gates.
In addition to the system for 1 5/8-in. tube gates (side-by-side and overlapping), GateHands latches also fit on 1 3/4 and 2-in. tube gates, as well as single gates.
The nice thing about the single gate GateHands is that you don’t need a straight post, and it adjusts for up to a 12-in. gap, says Kelsey Wagner, sales manager.
The additional models have been popular with a variety of customers.
“We originally thought farmers and ranchers would be interested in GateHands,” Wagner explains. “But there is also interest from the oil and wind energy industries, electric cooperatives and the construction industry.”
GateHands prices start at $50 and are available through the business’s website.
