Safetech's key-lockable Viper gravity latch — no guiding slots to jam, key-lockable from both sides, re-keyable to your house key, and backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
Every gravity latch has the same weak point: dirt, leaf litter and grit lodge in the guiding slots and the hooks jam before they reach the latching bar. The Viper has no guiding means at all — there's nowhere for residue to collect. Individually operating hooks, a unique latching mechanism, and a gate that closes properly in autumn as reliably as it did in spring.
A 6-pin C4 lock that can be re-keyed — so the gate can run on your existing house key instead of adding another one to the ring. Two keys are supplied, and multiple latches can be key-alike or individually keyed depending on how you want the property to work.
Safetech's patented backplate lets you shift from right-hand to left-hand operation with no screws — so the latch suits the gate you've actually got, not the one the packaging assumed. Adjustable both vertically and horizontally once it's on, with a gap variance from 14mm to 34mm and an ideal gap of 20mm.
High-grade engineered polymer with stainless steel springs and rust-resistant components — a long service life that shrugs off slams and resists UV and rust degradation. Attractive, but built for the gate that gets used hard. Backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
Set out for an ideal 20mm gap between the gate side and the post. The Viper will work across a gap variance of 14mm to 34mm, but 20mm is where it operates best — worth getting right before the posts go in.
Send us your gate width, height, which side it swings and whether it's a single or double, and we'll confirm the latch, the matching hinges and the setout gaps you'll need before the posts go in. Suits steel, aluminium, vinyl and timber gates. If the gate needs to latch and self-close for safety or compliance reasons, check the requirements that apply to your site before you order.
Gates, posts, hinges and latches supplied together — with expert guidance from our Tamworth team and delivery Australia-wide.
