Product Description
The HAMPTON PRODUCTS-WRIGHT VF333BL is a black free-hanging handle push button latch designed for out-swinging wood or metal doors. The latch installs through three 5/16-inch holes with a hole spacing of 1-3/4 inches, fitting doors ranging from 3/4 inch to 1-1/4 inches in thickness. The package includes two sizes of strike shims to allow adjustment for consistent latching across varying door and frame conditions. A no-lockout feature prevents accidental lockout during normal operation. For applications requiring keyed security, the VF333BL can be converted to a key locking set using a V3 cylinder, sold separately.
This latch is suited for residential and light commercial gates, sheds, outbuildings, utility enclosures, and similar out-swinging door applications. It performs on both wood and metal door construction, making it a versatile choice for fence gates, pool enclosures, and accessory structures. The free-hanging handle design allows the latch to operate without a fixed mounting point on the handle side, which simplifies installation on gates and unframed doors. Each package contains 6 units, supporting multi-door projects or contractor stocking.
