## Questions & Answers

**Q: spring was lost--anyone know what spring to buy for replacement?**
A: Greeting from HILLMASTER, 
Hi, the spring of this gate latch is customized. Would you like to contact to us through Amazon with your shipping address. We're willing to send a new set of springs from own factory warehouse to you, I hope it will helps you, thank you for choosing HILLMASTER Hardware!

**Q: Have grandchildren that can’t seem to get the hang of closing a gate. Can a spring for self closing be attached to this latch?**
A: This already has a spring inside for self closing. Would be easy for them.

**Q: what size screws does it use?**
A: Big Hex screws come with this latch; I swapped them out with some simple wood screws.  This latch has been installed for a couple years now and it's definitely a great purchase.

**Q: Will latch open from either side?? Gate too tall to reach over.**
A: Yes, it can be opened from either side.
The "Inside" has a hole where you can 'pin' or lock it... to prevent someone from opening the latch.
And the entire assembly is reversible ... so you can put it so the Inside (pin hole) is on your side

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My favorite gate latch
*by J***N on October 7, 2025*

Of all the gates I've built over my lifetime, this is my favorite gate latch. I don't have to mount it up high because nobody needs to reach over the top of the gate to access it. It's large, sturdy, heavily built, --not at all flimsy. I've begun converting my older gates to this latch now too. Extremely easy to install, mounted halfway between ground and top of gate, it holds the gate closed much better than the ones I used to have to install up at the top of the gate, far, far from the ground.
