Can this latch be used on double gates? In other words, the gates have no post or mullion between them.

Haven't tried a double gate, but it might work by mounting the catch on one gate & the arm on the other. The gate with the catch would have to be closed first, then the gate with the arm swung into it to engage. Likewise, to open, after you release the catch, the gate with the arm would have to be swung open first. Not really the ideal use of this latch & to make good use of the swing-closed-to-automatically-latch feature, the timing required likely is too touchy.

What is the Latch bar length - says 4 OR 6 inches?

This one has a 4" bar - including the flattened part for the screws.

The latch jiggles after the gate is closed, so often the gate does not stay closed. Any suggestions on how to make the latch jiggle less?

On mine, the latch has a very positive hook-type catch. If it hooks the bar properly, jiggling will not release it.Bar-to-latch alignment is important, in all three directions - side-to-side, vertical & depth. If misaligned, the latch may not hook the bar.
