Is there any kind of fence gate latch design that is immune to frost heave? Maybe something where the latch grabs a vertical rod that can move up/down every season and the latch still works? It's spring and for the 12th year in a row I have to remove and re-screw my gate latch into a new position to get it to line up again with the horizontal catch. (In this area there was a boulder that stopped us from sinking the post hole deeper than only 3 feet or so). Frost line is 48 inches here.
