EZ Gate - Farm
The easiest farm gate latch on the market
No more struggling to close the fence gate!
The EZ Gate Latch is the best way to close a barbed wire fence gate. The lever-style EZ Gate latch is a self-locking gate latch that synches the gate post toward the fence post. It closes snug and stays that wayβeven when livestock and horses rub up against it!
The EZ Gate closer works for many different applications. Whether you keep sheep, cattle, bulls, alpaca or horses, the EZ Gate will keep your livestock safe.
The EZ Gate is 100% Canadian made and was invented by a cattle farmer with over 40 years on the farm.
Each EZ Gate latch kit comes with all the necessary parts to install on your fence post. All you need is a drill. Instructions are included.
1. Using a 3/16β drill bit, predrill a hole for lag screw in the centre of the post at the same height as the bottom of the cross piece. Using a 7/16β socket or wrench, turn the lag screw into the fence post, making sure to leave a little space to allow the movement of the latch. Repeat on other side of fence post.
2. Place a nail on the gate post to keep the latch from sliding upward.
1. Using a 3/16β drill bit, predrill a hole for lag screw in the centre of the post about 9-10β above top wire. Cut off post 6β above lag screw. Using a 7/16β socket or wrench, turn the lag screw into the fence post, making sure to leave a little space to allow the movement of the latch. Repeat on other side of fence post.
2. Place a nail or screw on the fence post to give the latch something to rest on instead of the barbed wire. This makes it easier to grab the handle.
