Galvanised Locks and Gate Latches

For gate owners looking for extra durability, our galvanised locks and latches provide enhanced protection against the elements. This type of lock is particularly suited for timber field gates or heavy-duty gates that need to withstand tough conditions. Whether it's rain, wind, or extreme temperatures, galvanised latches and locks are resistant to corrosion, ensuring a long lifespan.

Some options in this category include Anti-Lift Devices and Heavy-Duty Latches, specifically designed for gates in agricultural or industrial settings. With these locks and latches, you can expect reliability and strength, even for gates that experience frequent use.

Spring Catch Sets

For those looking for a simpler locking solution, Spring Catch Sets are an effective and easy-to-install option. These latches come with knock-in receivers and are well-suited for lightweight gates. Whether it’s a garden gate or a side gate to a driveway, spring catch latches offer quick and convenient access.

Loop Over and Drop Bolts

For a more traditional approach to securing gates, Loop Over Catches and Drop Bolts are tried-and-true methods. These locks and latches are easy to install and operate, making them versatile for both residential gates and larger farm gates. With a loop over catch or drop bolt, you can secure your gate with minimal hassle.

These solutions are particularly popular in rural settings, where gates may need to be securely fastened but also opened frequently. Drop bolts are commonly used to lock gates in place, while the loop over catch provides an additional layer of security.

These latches are available in several designs, such as side pull, vertical pull, and extended top pull.

Choosing the Right Gate Lock or Latch

When selecting a gate lock or latch, it’s important to consider several factors:

1. Purpose: Think about the main use of your gate. Is it for security, privacy, or decorative purposes? Different locks and latches serve various needs, so make sure to choose one that aligns with your requirements.
2. Gate Material and Design: Whether your gate is made of wood or metal will impact the type of lock or latch you choose. Some latches and locks are better suited for certain materials, so it’s important to select one that works with your gate’s design.
3. Environment: For gates that are exposed to harsh weather conditions, galvanised locks and latches are recommended for their superior corrosion resistance. If your gate is located in a dry, temperate environment, you may have more flexibility in your choice of latch or lock.
4. Security Level: If security is your primary concern, look for gates with lockable latches and more complex locking mechanisms. In areas where the gate is used for aesthetic purposes rather than security, simpler latches may be more appropriate.
5. Ease of Use: Finally, consider who will be using the gate. If it's a family home, magnetic latches might be the most user-friendly option. For farms or larger properties, heavy-duty latches or drop bolts may be more suitable.
