We never tire of seeing 360 products in the wild, and this simply stunning photo contest submission with the Nero is no exception!
On this outswinging door you can see the hinges and the latching portion of the Nero. There’s often some conversation with clients about whether they want to see the latch on the outside, which is what is required when you have an outswinging gate. I think this photo shows that it can look incredible!
One element that’s often tricky to see (depending on the photo angle), but critical to the longevity of your latch, is the gate stop. Gate stops are included in all of our packages – and for good reason! You can read more about them in this blog post (and parts 2 and 3), but in short, your latch-arm and catch are meant to latch the gate, not stop it; a gate stop will – and will protect your hardware from damage caused by a gate slamming shut (not to mention, keep your warranty valid).
We look forward to working with Don the Fence Man again soon – he just won $100 in 360 Yardware store credit!!
