Jake Sales Pool Gate Latch - Child Safety Push-Style Gate Latch for 1-3/8 in Frames & 2-3/8 in Posts

Overview

Protect curious little swimmers and simplify gate access with the Jake Sales Pool Gate Latch. This push-style latch is designed for chain-link gates and focuses on easy operation, adjustable fit, and dependable performance. It offers a straightforward mechanism that can help you manage pool access without hindering daily use, while staying mindful of local pool code requirements.

The latch is specifically made for 1-3/8 in gate frames paired with 2-3/8 in gate posts. Its design supports horizontal and vertical adjustment and is reversible, allowing right- or left-handed use. The easy grip release knob makes operation smooth, even when your hands are wet or gloved, so you can open and close the gate with minimal effort.

Fit, measurements, and compatibility

• Only fits a 1-3/8 in gate frame and a 2-3/8 in gate post.
• Minimum gap guidance is noted as 2 inches for operation, with another measurement indicating 2-1/2 inches for reliable performance.
• Refer to the installation instructions and the measuring guide on this page to confirm fit before purchasing.
• Outside-diameter based measurements are used to determine the correct size for your gate hardware.

How it works and key benefits

The latch swings in or out and can be pad-locked from both sides for added security. It is horizontally and vertically adjustable, and the handle is reversible for flexible mounting. A separate spring closer is often used to enable self-close and latch functionality, and this closer (sold separately) works with the latch system to help manage gate closure.

• Adjustable, reversible design for versatile installations.
• Easy grip release for quick, comfortable operation.
• Auto-latch capability when paired with a compatible closer (sold separately).

Installation, what's included, and care tips

Installation is straightforward and suitable for most existing gates. The package comes with mounting screws and clear instructions. Note that a spring closer for self-closing and an optional pad-lock accessory are sold separately, so you can tailor the setup to your needs. When measuring, keep in mind that the measurements are based on the outside diameters of gate frames and gate posts.

• Easy to install with included screws and instructions.
• Works on standard chain-link configurations and is designed for easy future adjustments.
• Spring closer and pad-lock are optional accessories purchased separately.

Safety, compliance, and usage notes

The design is described as compliant with most pool codes, but always verify local ordinances before ordering. Measure carefully to ensure the 1-3/8 in frame and 2-3/8 in post configuration matches your gate setup. This latch is built to balance child-safety considerations with everyday convenience, without making promises about guaranteed outcomes.
