🔒 L2W‑316 Stainless-Steel Self‑Latching Dual Gate Latch (White)
Designed for Dual Swing PVC Gates | Heavy-Duty Marine Grade 316 | Value Fencing®
Why the L2W‑316 Dual Gate Latch Is the Best Locking Solution for PVC Gates
Looking for the ultimate heavy-duty dual gate latch for your PVC fence or driveway gate? The L2W‑316 Stainless-Steel Self‑Latching Dual Gate Latch is the definitive upgrade for any dual swing gate system. It's designed specifically for PVC fencing & gates, offering perfect compatibility, maximum corrosion resistance, and long-term peace of mind.
Unlike other latches that rust, jam, or wear over time, this self-latching latch is built from 316 Marine Grade Stainless-Steel - ensuring flawless performance even in harsh outdoor and coastal environments.
Whether you're upgrading your pool gate, driveway gate, or residential estate fencing, the L2W‑316 gives you effortless locking with built-in auto-latch functionality, rugged weather resistance, and clean architectural styling.
✅ What Makes L2W‑316 Better Than the Rest?
Most competitor products are manufactured using 304 stainless-steel, which is only partially resistant to corrosion. Over time - especially in coastal or humid areas - these 304 latches begin to pit, rust, or seize.
Marine Grade Stainless Steel containing molybdenum (Mo) - delivering unbeatable resistance to:
- ❌ Rust
- ❌ Pitting
- ❌ Salt corrosion
- ❌ Poolside chemical damage
✔️ Ideal for PVC fencing in harsh climates
✔️ Peace of mind for pool safety & estate security
🛠️ Easy to Install | 🔐 Padlock Compatible | 💯 Zero Maintenance
Available exclusively from Value Fencing® PVC Franchise outlets.
The L2W-316 latch, however, is constructed from true 316 marine grade stainless-steel, which includes molybdenum (Mo) - a rare addition that provides vastly superior resistance to salt, chlorides, humidity, and acid rain.
