Open and Close One-Handed
You shouldn't have to set down a bucket, drop a lead rope, dismount, or fumble with the gate just to get through. HGL is designed to open and close with one hand from the ground or saddle.
Keep the Gate Latched
Patent pending Twist 'N' Lock technology adds an extra level of security beyond a standard gravity latch as it requires both a lift and a twist to open helping prevent accidental opening from livestock, vibration, or gate movement while still opening and closing easily when you need it.
Built for the Outdoors
Unlike painted finishes that chip and expose bare metal, HGL is finished with a durable powder coat over solid steel designed for long-term, all season outdoor use. Less maintenance. Less rust. More time using the latch instead of replacing hardware.
The Horseman's Gravity Latch was tested under an 1,800-pound load. The latch and mounting system held firmly in place while the gate and hinges failed.
No Gate Damage
HGL intentionally uses a triple-fastener mounting system rather than a permanent weld. Made from 100% powder-coated stainless steel, it fits a wide range of pipe gates and installs using basic power tools—giving you the flexibility to adjust or move the latch to a new gate whenever you need.
Flush End for Safe Passage
Many gate latches leave hardware protruding into the opening. Not HGL. When opened, the end of the latch sits flush with the gate helping prevent snags on tack, clothing, or equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes HGL different from a standard latch?
HGL combines one-handed operation with Twist 'N' Lock technology, helping keep the gate securely latched while still opening quickly when you need access. It also installs without welding or drilling, powder-coated for all season durability, and is designed specifically for pipe gates.
Can livestock open it?
Twist 'N' Lock is designed to help keep the gate securely latched by requiring both a lift and a twist to open. Like any gate hardware, no latch can guarantee that every horse or animal will never find a way to open it, but HGL was designed to provide added security over a standard gravity latch.
Will it work if my gate isn't perfectly square?
HGL is designed to work on a wide range of pipe gates. As with any gate latch, proper installation and reasonable gate alignment are important for reliable operation.
Why use three fasteners for mounting instead of welding?
Not everyone has access to a welder, and not everyone wants to permanently modify a gate. The triple-fastener mounting system can be installed with power tools, fits a wide range of pipe gates, and maintains the flexibility to remove the latch and install it on another gate if your needs change.
