Gate Latch Cap

thingiverse

This item is designed to enhance the release handle of a Home Depot Everbilt Gate Latch, specifically the 610964 model, which can be found under product number 18591 on their website. By adding this cap, users can make the release mechanism more accessible and easier to operate, especially when they do not plan to install a pull string on the opposite side of the gate. Printed with PETG material at an infill rate of 25%, but it's likely that a lower setting could also produce acceptable results. The cap is printed in white, which improves visibility during nighttime hours, making it easier to locate. However, printing it in black would allow it to blend in more seamlessly with its surroundings. To secure the cap firmly in place on the lever, there is an internal notch that helps retain it, ensuring a snug fit and preventing any wobbling or movement. This allows for a solid attachment without compromising the mechanism's functionality. Although this cap was specifically designed for use with the self-adjusting gate latch, it also appears to be compatible with the fixed latch model 15642.
