Heavy Duty Drop Rod - Adjust-A-Gate Pin Latch Drop Rod for Double Drive Gates - Black (30in. High rod)

Good heavy duty gate lock.

Likes: easy install, matched gate well, Dislikes-No hanger or assembly to hold rod up BUT if you used the versa gate kit, the rod can be turned and rest on middle support just fine. Caution: The rod was purchased for one side of 7x14 privacy gate. The gate interior faces south and gets hammered in a southwest wind (most common in my area). I have chain link on other three sides so no windbreak there. The rod held on but bent a good bit on first test. Now hard to slide up and down. Considering how much energy is leveraged on that rod with a 14 foot sail of privacy fence, not surprised. Going to have cut some thick U stock metal and a piece of square tube to make a support for significant wind events.

I used this rod to close a gate linked fence after losing the ordinal rod it works well and fitted perfectly. I did not need any of the added assemblies because it slit right into the former rods hold perfectly. The rod is sturdy and hold very well. It worked and adjusted as well as the ordinal lost rod.

Still working

Worried it wouldnt work in the sandy area I tried to use these, I used metal stands meant for holding solar garden lights that were just large enough to use as guide placeholders for the rod in the down position and it works kind of great so far. Item is good and would suggest it if you want a sturdy ground point of pinning your gate closed or to inertia keep it open if not sink it to the ground to provide the same.

Very strong holds gates tight in very high winds

It works perfectly for my double doors. I only needed one.

I like the color and design but the screws are not deep enough and can easily muscles out after use

Works great for the gates I put them on Easy to install

Works perfectly with the Adjust a gate kit
