The U-Latch Story

“Tater is our bad boy. This 'Houdini' horse can get out of anything, given enough time. He usually works at night. In the past, we would wake up to find he had liberated all the livestock.

We don't need the sheep in the gardens, the cows in the hay or the horses in the road. These days, with U-Latches on all the gates, he is right where we left him, and so are the rest of our animals.”
— Scottie Jones (co-inventor of the U-Latch), Leaping Lamb Farm, OR

Made In The USA!

First produced in Eugene, Oregon, the U-Latch is now manufactured and sold under the Sure-Latch brand, a division of Co-Line Welding out of Sully, Iowa. We have visited the company’s fabrication plant and it is truly impressive. With this new affiliation, we expect you will find the U-Latch soon at a feed store near you.
