[QUOTE="flywire, post: 1823263, member: 43390"] Thanks Ken. The crush won't be like this and the panels are pre-fab. I wouldn't expect the posts to get the sort of pressure a crush gets. The pound area is an octagon with an adjacent fence joining each corner latch post (ie 3-way corner). The yard posts have a 3-way join on the hinge end with a straight fence on the latch side. I need to specify the catch. The main message I take is to make sure the latch post is secure, and the latches well seated when they are closed. I've seen 'v' shaped striker plates on the face and deeper hex shaped striker plates which attach around and each side of the latch post face. The deeper design is probably to ensure it is seated deeper because of the issue you mentioned. If required, permanent posts can be installed beside the gate posts (ie a semi permanent 2" post each side of a permanent 2" post). Ultimately the depth of travel is determined by the cam length.
