Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N101-576 is a heavy duty swinging door latch finished in black, designed for use on storage sheds, barns, outbuildings, and similar structures. The latch operates automatically on contact, eliminating the need to manually engage the bolt each time the door is closed. A rounded bolt face guides the latch into the strike smoothly, and the wide strike plate accommodates door sag over time. The handle is engineered to resist flattening when the door slams against the building. A bracket is included to hold the door open when needed. This latch is suited for installation by contractors, carpenters, and experienced DIYers working on agricultural or light commercial outbuildings.

The N101-576 is designed for swinging doors and works in both right-hand and left-hand applications without modification. It can be operated from either the inside or outside of the door, making it practical for doors that are accessed from both sides. A padlock hasp is integrated into the design, allowing the latch to be secured with a standard padlock for added security. This unit is sold in a package quantity of 5, making it well suited for multi-door projects on barns, sheds, and outbuilding installations.
