This garden gate latch with knob is a steel latch measuring 100 x 60 mm, 2 mm thick, in a black finish. The product photo shows a plate with a bolt operated by a round black knob, plus a catch that goes on the post or frame. You use it to keep a wooden garden gate or garden door closed. Only fit the latch once the gate hangs properly and closes without dragging, or the bolt won't line up with the catch. Black goes well with other black hardware, such as a black ball-bearing hinge.

Instructions for use

How to fit the garden gate latch:

1. Check the gate: make sure it hangs well and closes freely before you fit the latch.
2. Choose the height: pick a comfortable height on the closing side and hold the latch level against the gate.
3. Line up the catch: slide the bolt out and mark where the catch goes on the post or frame.
4. Pre-drill and fix: drill short pilot holes, screw the plate on first, then the catch.
5. Test it: open and close the gate a few times and adjust the catch if the bolt rubs.
