American Ultra Latch – The only anti-cut padlock, no-cut latch, non-removable gate latch.
After listening to our customers over the last forty years, we have developed a latch that meets their highest needs. The two most important criteria are that the latch must be non-removable and the lock cannot be accessible to be cut. Below are the highlights and specifications:
- With a thin two inch profile, it fits a two inch opening. This was a must so it could be retrofitted to existing openings.
- It is accessible from both sides of the fence without having to cut a hole in the gate.
- It prevents the possibility of cutting the padlock. It is the anti-cut padlock latch.
- It fits padlocks with 11/2” hasp. Flip it and it fits 2 ½” hasp.
- It fits openings much wider than 2” with its 8” long fork latch.
- It is not removable. When the lock is in the closed position the upper nut is not accessible. The lower nut would be a very tedious task to remove.
- It is extraordinarily simple with only two pieces and two bolts.
- It is built like a tank. The forks are 2” x ¼” thick bar stock that would have to be bent to be compromised.
- It includes u-bolts for easier installation. Removal will be difficult but it will not be “non-removable”.
- This is a perfect application for correctional facilities, high security, military and utility installations that require security but are not monitored 24/7.
