If you're a teenager jumping down off a horse to open a gate it is no big deal, on the other hand, a few years and pounds later you might want something a little more convenient. This is when you want Tech Team's Cowboy Gate Latch. This durable and well designed latch allows you to latch and unlatch your gate while mounted on horseback or, for that matter, on an ATV or sitting in a pickup truck. To control livestock, you need gate hardware that is purpose-built and is rugged enough for serious pressure from animals. Our design includes 3mm thick stamped and precision welded steel brackets with a corrosion and rust resistant 96-hour salt spray rated zinc electroplate finish. The rod is very robust and strong enough to keep the most rambunctious animals contained. The set installs without welding, a combination wrench or ratchet does the job in just a few minutes. The brackets have been punched so the clamps make a perfect fit on 1 1/2 inch, 1 3/4 inch, or 2 inch tubular steel vertical or horizontal farm gate members. In addition, there are ample round holes for mounting to wood posts or gates. The clamps have been custom manufactured with a flat inside radius so that they make maximum contact and grip tubular steel gate members without crimping or crushing.
