Chain Link Fork Latch Collar

A fork latch collar is a component used on chain link fence gates to secure the gate in a closed position. It is a metal fitting that attaches to the gate post or frame, featuring a forked or U-shaped design that holds a latch bar or the vertical frame of the gate. Typically, it is bolted or clamped in place and works in conjunction with a latch mechanism, such as a drop rod or latch bar, to keep the gate securely closed. The fork latch collar ensures the gate remains aligned and stable, preventing unintended opening while allowing easy access when needed.
