SLAM LATCH HEAVY DUTY 25MM C/W WELD-ON STRIKER STRIKER PLATE RH NORTON at a glance

The Norton Heavy Duty Slam Latch 25mm with weld-on striker plate (Right Hand) is a robust gate latch for livestock yards and farm gates. It features a slam-action design for automatic engagement and zinc-plated steel construction for durability in outdoor conditions.

Features and Benefits
• Heavy-duty 25mm latch pin for strength
• Automatic “slam” action for hands-free closing
• Right-hand orientation for correct gate alignment
• Weld-on striker plate included for permanent installation
• Zinc-plated finish resists corrosion
• Low maintenance, durable design

Mark out your gate post position and ensure it's plumb before welding. Position the striker plate on the post so the latch sits square and engages cleanly when the gate closes. Tack weld the plate first, check alignment, then run a full bead to secure it permanently. Make sure there's no paint or rust between the plate and post surface or you'll get movement. Tips: Get your gate frame square before installing the latch — a wonky gate will cause the striker to miss and you'll be adjusting it constantly. Weld that striker plate properly; a half-hearted job will work loose after a few months of gate slamming. Keep the latch mechanism clean of mud and rust, especially after rain, or it'll stick and wear prematurely.

Common Questions

What size is this latch and what's it used for?

This is a heavy-duty 25mm slam latch designed for livestock yards and farm gates. The 25mm latch pin gives you solid strength for securing gates that need reliable, hands-free closure.

How does the slam action work?

The latch has an automatic "slam" action design, so when you close the gate it engages on its own — no need to manually lock it every time. Just push the gate shut and you're done.

Is this left or right hand, and what does that mean?

This is a right-hand model. The orientation matters for proper gate alignment, so make sure you measure your gate setup before ordering to confirm you need the right-hand version.

How do I install it and will it last outdoors?

The striker plate is weld-on, so you'll need to permanently weld it in place for a solid installation. The whole latch is zinc-plated steel, which resists corrosion in outdoor conditions, and it's low maintenance by design — built to handle farm life.
