Description
Quick answer: A twisted ring gate latch is a traditional two-sided gate latch with a decorative twisted ring. It lets a suitable timber gate be opened from either side while holding it closed during normal use.
What is it used for?
Turning the ring operates the latch bar on the opposite face of the gate. Choose it where the decorative ring appearance suits the gate better than a plain ring or Suffolk latch.
- 150mm nominal size.
- Black and galvanised finish options.
- Ring functions as both handle and latch control.
- Suitable for domestic timber garden gates when dimensions permit.
What else do I need?
Use suitable exterior fixings and a sound closing post. Add a Brenton bolt for extra restraint. The Gate Set A includes a twisted ring latch with heavy tee hinges and a Brenton bolt for a more complete hardware package.
Alternatives
The plain ring gate latch gives a simpler appearance. The Suffolk latch uses thumb operation and suits traditional ledged gates and doors. An automatic latch catches when the gate closes but does not include a handle.
Before ordering: Confirm the latch bar can reach through or around the gate construction as required, and check the available fixing positions on both faces. Black finishes may show weathering sooner in exposed conditions than galvanised hardware and should be maintained accordingly. This is a latch, not a lock.
