Kickover Latches

Strong and Reliable Gate Latches

Kickover Latches provide a simple and reliable way to secure timber gates, stable doors and yard access points. Each latch is made from galvanised steel, which offers strong resistance to rust and weather exposure. The 240mm design gives a solid reach across the gate and supports fast, one-handed operation. Many owners choose this type of latch because it is easy to use around horses and livestock.

Designed for Yard and Stable Use

These latches are suitable for field gates, stable doors, barn entrances and general yard fencing. The long arm makes it easy to flip the latch over the post, even when wearing gloves. Kickover Latches help prevent gates swinging open and provide a secure hold during daily use. The galvanised finish supports long-term durability in wet and exposed environments.

Easy Installation

The latch fixes to timber posts or frames with standard screws or bolts, depending on your setup. You can fit the latch on new gate builds or use it as a quick replacement for older hardware. The 240mm length suits most standard timber gates and offers smooth movement when opening or closing. Kickover Latches work well with agricultural, equestrian and domestic yard layouts.

Reliable Daily Performance

The galvanised coating protects the metal from rust and impact damage. As a result, the latch performs well in muddy, wet and high-traffic areas. The simple mechanism reduces the risk of snagging and provides a safe option around animals. You can use the latch as a primary gate catch or as an additional safety measure alongside bolts or hooks.
