Pressing the thumb lever lifts the 190mm latch bar on the inside, which drops into a keep on the post when you let go. A staple keep holds the bar in line and a hook keep catches it. It is a traditional latch, in a heavier form, for timber gates and doors that get regular use. Galvanised steel, supplied with fixing screws. The price shown is for one latch set with its two keeps, with a minimum order of 4, because these are normally bought in numbers for a run of gates or doors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cfigure style=\"margin:16px 0\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/3002\/8778\/files\/heavy-duty-galvanised-suffolk-gate-latch-d-handle-drawing.jpg?width=1200\" alt=\"Drawing of the heavy duty galvanised Suffolk gate latch showing the backplate, D handle, thumb lever, latch bar and keeps\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display:block;width:100%;max-width:760px;height:auto;margin:0 auto\"\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy this part works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeavier parts where they count.\u003c\/strong\u003e A 100mm D handle made from 11mm bar gives a full-hand grip, and the 190mm latch bar is 18mm wide and 6mm thick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA proper thumb latch action.\u003c\/strong\u003e Press the thumb lever on the outside and the bar lifts on the inside, so the gate opens with one hand and closes without slamming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGalvanised for outdoor use.\u003c\/strong\u003e The galvanised finish is suited to exterior gates and to sites where a lighter latch has already rusted out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTwo keeps supplied.\u003c\/strong\u003e Both the staple keep and the hook keep come with it, so the latch bar is guided and held correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere it is used\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTimber garden, field and estate gates, side gates at commercial premises, and heavy outbuilding and stable doors.

The 94mm centres and 44mm wide backplate need a solid stile to screw into. If you prefer a ring pull rather than a thumb lever, the ring pull kit is lighter and has a different look. For an ornate gate, see the gothic style Suffolk latch. Neither is a lock: fit a separate hasp, bolt or lock if the gate needs securing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eYou want\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eChoose\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeavy duty thumb latch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThis latch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGothic Suffolk latch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/heavy-duty-gothic-suffolk-gate-latch\"\u003eGothic Suffolk gate latch\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eA self-latching catch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/heavy-duty-auto-gate-catch\"\u003eGalvanised auto gate catch\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eA sliding bolt\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/premium-heavy-duty-gate-latch-75mm-x-50mm\"\u003eSliding barrel bolt, 75 x 50mm\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitting and care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHold the backplate on the outside of the gate at a comfortable height, mark the two handle pivot holes and the lever slot, and fix it with the screws supplied.
