Value Brand Fork Latch Steel 1 3/8 to 2 3/8 in Galvanized

Fork Latch for 1 3/8 to 2 3/8 In Posts

This galvanised steel fork latch fits round posts from 1 3/8 to 2 3/8 inches in diameter. It is supplied with one set of nut and bolt for installation. The 9 gauge steel construction provides a secure fastening point for chain-link or wire fence sections. Suitable for agricultural, residential or light commercial boundary work.

Diameter Range and Gauge Limits

The latch only accommodates posts within the stated 1 3/8 to 2 3/8 inch range; smaller or larger diameters will not clamp correctly. The 9 gauge thickness sets the structural limit, so heavy impact or tension loads beyond typical fence line stress may deform the latch. Galvanised finish resists corrosion but is not rated for continuous immersion or aggressive chemical exposure. California Proposition 65 warnings apply.

Capacity and Installation Headroom

One nut-and-bolt set is included, giving enough hardware for a single latch point on a standard fence run. The fork design allows quick engagement and removal for gate access or temporary openings. It comfortably handles typical line tension and gate swing forces on compatible posts. Runs out when post diameter falls outside the specified range or when load exceeds the 9 gauge steel capacity.
