Gate Latch

On the many list of things to do is replace the front (and only) gate.
Going like for like which is a 6ft high wooden gate that fits between the stone walls, Currently it's a surface mounted latch (not a lift up gate latch).
Found the LOCINOX LCPX Surface Mounted Gate as an exterior option but do latches need to be special exterior grade?
What stops me from buying the cheapest from screwfix? Or this time installing an tubular latch? (my Google-fu is being weak)


We don't need it to be locking but it appears most are. It does need to become dog proof so thinking of installing a closing spring.

What I am referring to is what is typically goes in internal doors:

I may be best to take a photo of what's there to better explain my predicament.
