The Stall Latch with Spring is a 10-inch zinc-plated spring latch built specifically for sliding stall doors. Its self-retracting spring design is the key safety feature: when the latch is open, the spring pulls it back flush so it does not protrude beyond the door frame and create a catch point that could injure a horse. When the door closes, the spring snaps the latch into the locked position with positive tension – so the door stays secured even if a horse bumps or leans against it. This spring stall latch eliminates the open-stall risk that comes with conventional latches that stay open until someone manually closes them.
The zinc plating on this stall latch with spring provides corrosion resistance in the humid stall environment where moisture from water buckets and bedding quickly degrades uncoated steel hardware. This zinc-plated stall latch is built to withstand daily barn use without rusting or wearing out, making it a long-lasting hardware choice for sliding stall doors. The automatic snap-closed action gives horse owners the peace of mind that the stall latch is always secured unless someone is actively holding it open.
