A gravity latch for a gate is designed to automatically close and secure the gate by using the force of gravity. When the gate is pushed closed, the latch mechanism is activated and the latch drops into place, preventing the gate from swinging open. This helps to keep the gate securely closed without the need for manual locking.

How do you open 1987 plymoth reliant tailgate?

To open the tailgate you have to use the key in the tailgate lock. If it is like mine, it does not always release immediately and you just need to push on the tailgate while the key is turned. You should be able to hear the latch release and then you just lift the tailgate up. If the shock absorbers for it are worn out it will be a slow hard lift to get it to open completely. l

1999 4-runner life gate won't open Trying to unlock with the key doesn't work Releasing the inside lock doesn't work Is there a manual release If not what can you do to get it to open?

make sure the tailgate is unlocked. while squeezing the release handle, push HARD on the bottom center of the tailgate, just above the bumper. then pull the gate out. this has never failed me and ive seen it about 50 times. once you get it open, replace the latch and the handle. they almost always need both.
