This is a very common issue. The most likely cause is the gate post sinking or shifting in the soil due to our local weather patterns and soil composition. When the post moves, the gate sags, throwing the latch out of alignment. This can also be caused by heavy gates that put stress on the hinges over time.

Simply replacing the latch hardware often won't fix the underlying issue if the gate or post is out of alignment. The solution typically involves first re-aligning the gate by adjusting the hinges or, in more serious cases, resetting or replacing the gate post. Xtreme Fence Staining can assess the cause of the misalignment and correct it so your new latch functions perfectly.
