Is this the way it is designed or is it faulty?** A: My key definitely comes out in the locked position. **Q: Is there a way to order multiple locks that use the same key? In a hardware store you can usually match the serial number etc** A: You can call 1.800.716.0888 for additional keys,...and they DO come with a 5 digit number on them **Q: It appears that the lock was made to be fitted with an inside opener latch, if so I need to purchase one ?** A: Margaret I’m too late to answer this question but you might read it anyway if you look at the latch with a little silver handle is the locks from the outside if you look at the top of that it has a hole in it is meant to be for cord or string to go through your fence and have an inside opening. You don’t have to buy nothing else just a string or cord hang a piece of wood on it to keep the string from flopping around too much and there you’ve got it. Sorry I didn’t answer this before **Q: Will this work in a horizontal position as well as in the vertical position? As in a "gate" opening upwards rather than outwards?** A: I don’t know why not it works vertical I don’t see why it wouldn’t work horizontal up and down it has the latch that comes out so I don’t I don’t see a problem and it but you might get an answer that better than mine if nothing else can get a hold of the manufacturer made it and find out ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect *by S***M on 16 April 2026* Great quality and easy to install. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Calidad *by C***S on 6 August 2025* Perfecto ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's pricey but when you need the best it's worth the cost *by S***N on 13 January 2025* I originally had installed a standard £5 automatic gate latch on this, but the force of the gate closing kept on pulling out the screws of the rod bit of the latch. I tried fixing it twice by drilling into the gate and gluing in a hardwood dowel to which I would screw the rod to, but even that failed eventually. In the end I decided to bite the bullet and purchase this and haven't looked back. It may seem like a simple idea of having additional screws perpendicular to the direction of the force (i.e. screws in the side of the gate), but this is the only latch I could find which had this. And latch build quality it superb and the whole thing is solid and seems like it will last for years. It does also have a lock & key mechanism, but I don't bother using it on this small gate. ## Frequently Bought Together - National Hardware N346-201 V6201 LokkLatch in Black, 4-9/16" - Self Closing Gate Hardware Hinges Heavy Duty for Wooden/Vinyl/PVC Fences,90 Degree Adjustable, with Installation Screws and Swing Adjuster Tool,2 Pack/Set,Black - HILLMASTER Self Locking Gate Latch for Wooden Fence,Heavy Duty Gravity Fence Latch Privacy Door Latch for Wood Gate,Metal Gates,Vinyl Fence,Gate Hardware Gate Door Lock for Outdoor Pool,Black Finish --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/212925659-national-hardware-n346-201-lokklatch-automatic-keyed-gate-lock-latch](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/212925659-national-hardware-n346-201-lokklatch-automatic-keyed-gate-lock-latch) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-11*
