G96-1287 Design Of A Spring-Loaded Gate Latch For Swine Breeding Facilities, Donald G. Levis, Charlie Gilmore, Gerald R. Bodman

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

This publication offers plans and discussion of the spring-loaded gate latch used in swine breeding facilities. Swine breeding facilities function more smoothly when gates have latches that can be worked easily and quickly. A gate latch should be designed so the latch can be released (or fastened) and the gate opened (or closed) with a continuous motion using only one hand. The illustrated gate latch design has worked well in a swine breeding facility. The latch design allows a gate in the partition between two breeding pens to swing into either breeding pen.
