## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this handle work for an outswinging gate with hinges on Left side?**
A: Incorrect. Works for in swinging and out swinging gates. Just reverse the latch.

**Q: 2 doors on my shed I need just a matching handle without thumb latch  do they make this?**
A: I haven't seen that offered anywhere, yet.

**Q: Can this gate latch be locked form the inside? Like with a padlock? To keep from being opened**
A: Yes

**Q: This says "Equipped with easily operated locking feature for gates, sheds, and doors" so where do you put a lock?**
A: You have to lock it from the inside. You cut out the square part on latch from the 4x4 and you can push handle inward and slide across. Then lock would be added to the latch.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality piece!
*by B***R on July 25, 2025*

Unbeatable price point. Very easy to install. Latch will NOT fall out if installed properly!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great latch.
*by T***S on March 10, 2025*

This thing is great. Pretty easy to install. The biggest issue being that the latch doesn't STAY very well. A simple screw by the company would have fixed this. But I put my own in and never even noticed it.Other than that it was easy to install and easy to use. Been looking for something like this for a couple of years really.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice hardware with a misstep in the instructions and one big, but fixable flaw
*by D***R on March 2, 2022*

These are nice big gate handles that open/close easily and the rod in the rear of the door handle can be slid over to lock the gate.Some reviewers seem to have difficulty with installation. One of the issues may be the instructions direct you to drill two 1/2" holes next to each other, practically touching. if you've ever used a drill, you know that's almost impossible. i drilled the two holes as close as i could without them touching then used a reciprocating saw to join the two.There is one flaw that many reviewers mention and that's there is nothing but gravity keeping the thumb lever from falling forward and out of the hardware. I took the advice of other reviewers and used a large key ring to connect the rear of the thumb lever to the locking rod. If you look at the pics in the review section, you will see other reviewers showing this "fix".
