Locking/Latching Function: Gates have a pull side (pull on gate to open) and a push side (push on gate to open). This latching mechanism installs on the pull side of the gate. From the pull side of the gate: You can lock the gate with the key You can unlock the gate with the key From the push side of the gate: You can use the push button to open the gate if the gate is not locked. This is good for tall gates that you can not reach over. If the gate has been locked from the pull side you cannot unlock the gate from the push side. If the gate has been previously locked on the push side of the gate and has not been locked on the pull side of the gate, you can unlock the gate.
