Rolling Gate Latch (Rollo Latch Or Rolo Latch) (Pressed Steel)
A pressed steel rolling gate latch—often referred to as a "Rolo latch"—is a specialized hardware component used to secure rolling or sliding chain link fence gates. Here's how it's typically used:
- Secures Rolling Gates: Designed for chain link gates that slide or roll open rather than swing.
- Two-Part Mechanism:
- Latch Pin Assembly: Attaches to the gate frame.
- Receiver Bracket: Mounts to the latch post using brace bands (sold separately).
- Latch Post Mounting: Requires two brace bands to secure the receiver to the post.
- Loose Fit Is Normal: The latch pin may feel loose on the gate frame—this is by design to allow movement.
- Padlock Option: Many models allow for padlocking to enhance security.
- Durable: Made from galvanized pressed steel for rust resistance.
- Easy to Operate: Allows smooth latching and unlatching of rolling gates.
- Secure: Can be locked for added protection.
