{"product_id":"ring-gate-latch-150mm-galvanised","title":"Ring Gate Latch 150mm, Hot Dipped Galvanised, for Gates up to 75mm Thick, Fixings Included","description":"\u003cp\u003eA ring gate latch is the classic way to close a timber garden gate. Turn the ring and the latch lifts, release it and the gate is held shut. It works from both sides of the gate, because the external ring handle lets you open the gate from outside as well as inside. This 150mm ring gate latch is hot dipped galvanised and suits gates up to 75mm thick. Each backplate measures 70mm x 70mm and fixings are included. It is designed for light domestic timber gates: side gates, garden gates and bin store doors. Homeowners, handymen and fencing contractors fit them to new gates or use them to replace a worn or rusted latch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy it works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOpens from both sides\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA spindle runs through the gate and connects the inside latch to the external ring handle. Anyone outside can turn the ring to lift the latch bar out of its keeper, and anyone inside can do the same. There is no need to reach over the gate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHot dipped galvanised\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe latch is hot dipped galvanised. That zinc coating gives it extra protection against rust in the open air, which matters on a gate that stays outside all year round.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSimple and reliable\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA gravity latch has very few moving parts.

Fix the keeper to the post so the bar drops in cleanly, then fix the bar guide.
