Deep latches


Recommended Posts

Not sure on correct terminology.

The part of the latch that moves in and out and causes the latching...can that be bought either extra long or flat edge then round?

 

Fitted new gate but because of the ironmongery (between two walls, wrought iron components reused) the gate can swing 2inch or so beyond the latched position. It then swings back into the latched position and doesn't open.

 

It's that or try and create a stop of some sort to stop it moving beyond close.

Create a stop, just a piece of angle fixed to the wall - it is not part of the security system so need not be too robust.

That's what I'm thinking.

Not fitted it yet but also have a spring closer to fit. Wondering if that might create enough resistance.

Is that from experience?

Well its down to how well it will withstand being hit by the gate swinging back. We could do the maths but in reality 4 or 5  5mm x 50mm screws into suitable Rawl (other brands are available) plugs will do it.
