Description
Quick answer: This galvanised ring gate latch is a traditional two-sided operating latch for timber garden gates. Turning the ring lifts the latch bar, allowing the gate to be opened from either side when installed correctly.
What is it used for?
Choose it where you want the latch and handle combined into one fitting. The range includes plain and twisted ring styles, allowing the appearance to be selected without changing the basic purpose.
- Provides an operating ring on the outside and latch mechanism on the inside.
- Suitable for many light domestic timber gates.
- Galvanised finish for exterior use.
- Plain and twisted appearance options.
What else do I need?
You will need suitable exterior fixings, a properly aligned gate and a solid closing post. Add a Brenton bolt where extra restraint is useful. Pair with medium tee hinges for many standard gates or hook and band hinges for a wider or heavier gate.
Alternatives
The plain ring gate latch is a straightforward single-style Eliza Tinsley option. The twisted ring gate latch is available in black or galvanised. A Suffolk latch offers traditional thumb operation, while an automatic latch catches without turning a ring but needs a separate handle.
Before ordering: Check gate thickness, spindle or bar reach, handing and the position of the latch bar relative to the closing post. A ring latch provides convenient closure, not secure locking. Timber movement and gate sag can affect alignment over time.
