Gate Gravity Latch by RDI
Key RDI Gate Latch Options
RDI Gravity Latch – The most directly compatible latch for RDI metal gates (like Excalibur). It’s a gravity-style latch that self-latches when the gate closes, and accepts a *padlock for extra security. The kit comes with installation hardware and works well with steel or vinyl gate posts.
How Gravity Latches Work
- Self-latching: As the gate swings closed, the latch arm drops into a catch or striker automatically — no manual locking required.
- Padlock-ready: Most RDI gravity latches have a hole or provision for a padlock so you can secure the gate against unauthorized opening.
- Simple operation: Gravity latches are easy for adults to operate while still being secure, though some local building codes (e.g., pool fences) may require child-proof lockable hardware.
About this product...
A gravity latch is a simple, automatic latching solution that works well with RDI railing gates like Excalibur and keeps gates secure with optional padlock use. The RDI Gravity Latch option is designed to match the style and durability of your railing system, while generic gravity latches provide budget alternatives. For added security or specific code requirements, consider a two-sided locking latch instead. Self-latching and easy to install, Gravity Latches use a simple latch and striker system and accept a padlock for additional security.
