Qwikee Gate Latch for Livestock Extra Gate Protection

This latch is known to me as the kiwi latch. It used to be sold locally, but not anymore. It doesnt freeze shut, if a post shifts you can still use it, horses cannot get it open (not even our resident houdini), easy one handed use, very hard to break. This model came with a decent chain as well. We do not use the included u staples, but instead sturdy eyelets. To use the latch, just drop it straight in the eyelet to latch the gate. To open it, flip the ring up and lift. Super simple. Ive seen horses hit a gate hard enough to pull those u staples right out. There are different ways to attach it to a post: Use a screw/bolt and washer into wood gates, wrap the chain around the tube gate and use a spin latch to secure it, or use a chain link fence brace band or tension band (I used the tension bands to have the chain further from the gate- less noise) and bolt the latch chain to the band. One of the photos hides the eyelet that is secured in a 6 inch post. The white in front is an arbor we have on the human side of the gate.

Love these. Easy one hand for all, but horses cant open.

Best pasture gate latch I’ve ever used. Easy to work with one hand. No need to exact measurements like the flip latches. Very “beefy” chain and latch that holds up to high winds and cows rubbing along the gate. We also use this latch to keep dogs in fenced back yard. I’ve used these latches for over 20 years. Nothing at any price has worked as well. The only con is the screw was half an inch short when drilled into our heavier gates which needed a 2 1/2” screw. Fixed that with a trip to Lowe’s. Inconvenient but still worth it. The screws supplies were perfect for the lighter red gates. Another bonus is people aren’t familiar with these latches can’t figure out how to open them.

Heavier than some others weve gotten other places. Best price Ive found. Pleasantly surprised! We have these on all gates that goats can access because its one of 2 types that dairy goats cant open. Arrived promptly, too.

These were just what I needed. Match the ones the fence company used on my pasture gates. I added them to the backyard gates to keep my Houdini German Sheperd from jumping up and opening the latches.

Was having trouble keeping the wind from blowing out fence gate open. This lock did the trick. Works great.
