Review: Solid and sturdy - I expected a robust latch, but have to say I was pleasantly surprised with this, it is very solid and sturdy and exceeded my expectations. The operation is smooth and reliable. The key lock works well. Installation was simple; and it can be located for either right hand or left hand opening. There is an actuator rod to connect the lock in the front to the latch mechanism in the back, this needs to be cut to length according to the thickness of the mounting post. It is clearly illustrated how to measure this, and the manufacturer thoughtfully provides an extra one in case you get it wrong the first time. When you go to cut this piece, you'll get a sense of just how tough the plastic is. It is a trifle awkward to open from the inside, as you need to pull a knob and then pull the gate open, but it's easy enough to figure out how to do this. (thumb and forefinger on the knob, then use your ring finger to pull the latch arm). From the outside there is a button to push that opens the latch. This uses a 6-pin (one notch up security) Schlage SC4 type key, and comes with two, marked with the key code. Note: generally speaking, black plastic is going to hold up better under long term sun exposure than any other color.
Review: Expensive BUT worth it - Had to replace my standard lock on my pool gate because the door sags so it would not latch (lock) properly, no matter how many times I fixed the sag. This latch is awesome. Love the way it clicks into the door and how easy it is to open from the other side (I bought the 2 sided lock). Really simple to install. Easy to open and close, love that I can use a key to lock it too. Highly recommend.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you open from both sides? Thanks**
A: X1 model is single sided so its operable from one side, but you can open by hand if you can reach the latch from the other side. Otherwise there is a model X2 that is double sided.

**Q: Can you provide replacement keys?**
A: I can’t, I had I believe the same latch (not sure) when I moved to my new home, I was not able to get replacement keys so I bought this product, they were a good price

**Q: Can this be keyed to match kwikset or schlage?...**
A: Yes, absolutely. Many homeowners are getting Viper latches re-keyed to match their other home keys.

**Q: How long is the bolt - what's the maximum gap between sides?**
A: Maximum gap between the post and the gate you could achieve approximately 2 inches

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Updated Review
*by L***B on April 6, 2024*

I was able to connect with customer support on the phone, the call started out seeming a little sketchy but I think the agent was just working from home. He had me send him a video of the problem and talked me through the fix. The lock has worked flawlessly since then. Great customer service. This latch and lock worked very well for a few months but today the locking mechanism and the latch failed. I had walked through the gate and locked it behind me but a couple of hours later the gate was open and my dogs were running around in the street. After I got my pets safely into the house I checked the lock only to fine that it was locked on the inside but the outside of the lock worked as if it was unlocked. Besides that, the gate opened at the slightest push, even when the prongs were lowered around the latch bar. I was able to make some adjustments so the latch would hold the bar again but I can’t make the lock function properly again. I’m assuming this lock isn’t really suited for a wooden gate as advertised. Wood swells and shrinks with the weather and this failure occurred at a change in seasons. Also, wooden gates are subject to more movement due to wind hitting the solid surface. Metal gates are often bars that permit the wind to pass through. The plastic bar that connects both sides of the locking mechanism don’t allow much of a margin of error therefore shrinking and swelling of the wood can cause the bar to fail and the gate lock to become inoperative. The lock came with screws that were too short to mount it well on a wooden fence but they would be adequate for a metal fence. I did replace them with longer, outdoor rated deck screws so that was my first clue that this lock was not made for a wood fence despite claims that it would work well for that application. I’ll be contacting support for assistance in repairing this problem and will update this review if they help me find a permanent fix for this issue.
