Ensure the gate swings outwards (out-swing) and that the latch mechanism will align correctly for automatic closure. — Determine Mounting Location 2. Position the strike plate on the chosen surface (gate or post) where the latch bolt will engage. Mark screw holes, drill pilot holes if necessary, and securely fasten the strike with the included screws. — Install the Strike 3. Align the latch mechanism with the strike plate on the gate or post. Mark screw holes, drill pilot holes, and securely attach the latch using the provided mounting screws. Test automatic closure and padlock fit. — Mount the Latch ## Product details | Field | Value | |---|---| | Recommended Use | Out-swing gates, doors, animal pens, single-acting gates, swinging barn doors. | | Application Type | Surface-mounted on gate or post. | | Handedness | Right or Left Hand Applications | | Security Feature | Can be padlocked for added security. | | Included Components | Mounting screws. | | Brand | National Hardware | | Model Number | N101-352 | | Part Number | N122-358 | | Color | Zinc Plated | | Finish Type | Zinc | | Material | Alloy Steel | | Item Weight | 0.14 kg (0.3 lb) | | Item Dimensions | 15.24 cm (6 in) Length x 2.54 cm (1 in) Width x 5.08 cm (2 in) Height | | Package Dimensions | 12.5 cm (4.9 in) Length x 17.6 cm (6.9 in) Height x 4.5 cm (1.8 in) Width | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Country of Origin | Not stated by manufacturer — US retail version, sourced from authorized US retailers | ## Frequently asked questions ### How to buy an original National Hardware Automatic Gate Latch in India?
