Couple suggestions -- one, it would be better to put the tab on the
gate door rather than the post. If you have a tab sticking out from
the latchpost, you will tend to run into it, catch your clothes on it,
trip over it, etc. Two, on the door, consider having two tabs, near
the top and bottom. If it only catches at the top (say), over time the
torque of banging into the catch will cause the door to become bent or
misaligned. -- H
