National Hardware N109-070 Gate Latch Cable Pull, Black

Works Great

Easy and neat install and heavy duty enough for a 5 ft gate (half of a dbl gate). Much nicer that the DIY system it replaced.

Not sure if the description advised that this is for wood fenced gates but when I bought it, I was installing it on a metal gate. The spring installed is set up to work on a wood post. But luckily, a quick trip to the hardware store for a cable crimp, I was able to cut the original crimping, install the spring to the back of my gate and modify it to work on a steel gate latch. Wife loves it because it looks clean and opens the gate without reaching forward.To sum up, if using on a metal gate, you will need to make modifications.

This latch pull solves the broken string problem. I was having to replace the string every few weeks because we began using the gate more often.I tried a chain. It worked better than the string but it would change position where it was attached to the outside of the gate. This made it too short and the gate wouldn't latch. Guests and workmen would leave it unlatched and our dogs kept getting out.This solves the problem stylishly without spending a lot. It was fairly easy to install. My only problems were caused by the old gate, not the latch pull.

Followed installation instructions and got everything aligned nicely. Worked great for a while. Only suggestion I have would be to replace the "pull cable" with one made of wire rather than plastic. While plastic is nice because it doesn't corrode, it is unfortunately subject to deformation (probably due to hot/cold temperature cycles) leading to sticky and unreliable operation. After about two years, I will be replacing this unit (or at least the pull-cable).

Excellent product, installed easy

Replaced a Home Depot piece of thin wire cable for a gate pull with the National Latch Cable Pull, which came spring loaded/ready made. Required some retrofitting with a drill bit, but very manageable. It worked precisely as represented and actually made gate's latch work better and self close with slight added weight applied from cable pull assembly. Kudos to Amazon for organizing this device with gate latches, which I did not need after installing this cable pull.

It doesn’t fit snugly so sometimes the gate remains unlatched.

I was having trouble using a regular string to unlatch our gate latch. Anytime I pull on the string, it would snag, causing the gravity latch not to go down, so I have to manually pull it down again just so the latch will lock once I close the gate. I am glad I found this device, which solved my issue. It is very easy to install, though I had to figure out how to orient the part that screws on to the latch correctly. There is a spring that goes inside the hole in the post and that makes the latch to automatically reset once you pull on the nice and elegant looking knob. It looks very durable and I intend to buy one for our other fence gate. Highly recommended!

it's a shame it's not easy to find in UK, delivery was not included in prime and cost almost as much as the latch. Still the latch is top quality. I would recommend to anyone.

Works like a dream x

Install was easy and i love the way it looks. So much better than a standard gate latch.I will say i have had to adjust it each year ever so slightly so that it pulls the lath completely.But love the aesthetics and is working well.

Easy to install and a decent latch so far. A touch bit flimsy as the knob is hollow plastic but it was worked well, to date.
