Horseman’s Gravity Latch for Pipe Gates
The Horseman’s Gravity Latch is a heavy-duty, solid-steel pipe gate latch designed to help keep horses, cattle, and other livestock securely behind the gate. Patent-pending Twist ’N’ Lock technology adds security beyond a standard gravity latch while remaining easy to operate with one hand.
Use the HGL from the ground or horseback without fumbling with a chain, setting down a bucket, or dropping a lead rope.
Why Choose the HGL?
- One-handed operation from the ground or saddle
- Helps prevent accidental opening by livestock or gate movement
- Attaches to an existing round pipe gate without welding
- Sits flush with the gate when open to help prevent snags
- Solid-steel construction with a durable powder-coated finish
- Three included stainless steel custom fasteners
- Made in the USA
- Lifetime warranty

Ditch the Chain
Built by horsemen, for horsemen. Every detail is designed to make gates safer and simpler for you, your horses, and your livestock.
01
Open and Close With One Hand
Keep hold of your bucket, lead rope, or reins. HGL opens one-handed from the ground or saddle, so you can move through the gate without stopping the job.
02
Easy for You. Harder for Livestock.
HGL’s patent-pending Twist ’N’ Lock technology requires both a lift and a twist to open. That second intentional movement adds security against accidental opening caused by livestock, vibration, or gate movement.
03
Secured by Custom Steel Fasteners
HGL mounts to your pipe gate with three custom fasteners made from stainless steel and powder-coated for outdoor protection. They hold the latch securely without welding or drilling into your gate.
The latch and complete mounting system held during a 1,800-pound load test while the gate and hinges failed.
04
Built for Year-Round Farm Use
100% solid steel. Powder-coated. No springs to rust, stick, or wear out. HGL is built to stay outside and keep working through changing seasons.
05
No Protruding Parts
Many gate latches leave hardware protruding into the opening. When HGL is open, the end of the latch sits flush with the gate, helping reduce snags on tack, clothing, lead ropes, and equipment as horses, livestock, and people pass through.
