Wooden Gates For Bucks, Berks, Herts & Oxon
Enjoy effortless, friction-free operation with the Gatemate Non-Locking Magnetic Side Pull Latch. Engineered specifically for high-traffic utility zones, internal pet areas, and standard garden gates where keyed security isn’t required, this general-purpose latch uses magnetic attraction rather than stiff mechanical springs. It features a simple side-pull knob that offers smooth, instinctive release for quick, hassle-free entry and exit.
Frictionless Magnetic Catching: A powerful internal permanent magnet automatically pulls the latch pin home as the gate swings shut, completely eliminating latch bounce.
Intuitive Side-Pull Knob: Features a ergonomic, non-locking pull-knob that releases the gate smoothly with a gentle tug—ideal for busy, everyday family walkways.
100% Rustproof Composite Shroud: Forged from high-impact, UV-stabilized black polymer that will never fade, rust, corrode, or leave ugly chemical stains on your timber.
Rapid Surface-Mount Install: Installs completely flush onto the face of timber frames and posts without requiring complicated wood routing or chiseling.

Traditional garden gate latches can stiffen up, rattle loudly in the wind, or fail to latch properly if the timber swells or settles. The Gatemate Non-Locking Magnetic Side Pull Latch modernizes everyday domestic gate hardware. By replacing mechanical friction points with smooth magnetic power, it provides a quiet and exceptionally reliable catch that keeps your boundary securely closed without forcing you to slam the gate leaf.
This non-locking model is highly favored by trade installers for pet enclosures, vegetable patches, and side-alley gates that simply need to stay firmly shut against heavy wind and wandering animals. Because there is no key cylinder to worry about, it offers instant, barrier-free passage whenever your hands are full with garden tools or groceries.
Quiet Gravity Closure: Smoothly guides the internal pin into the strike body, dramatically reducing the noise and frame stress associated with traditional steel ring latches or spring bolts.
Horizontal Adjustment Paths: Built-in slotted alignment holes allow you to shift the hardware easily to compensate if your wooden posts warp or sag as the seasons change.
Weatherproof Architecture: Marine-grade internal components stay completely shielded inside the polymer housing, ensuring year-round operation through freezing frost and driving rain.
Stain-Free Timber Protection: Unlike ironmongery, this high-performance composite will never bleed orange rust lines down your beautiful pressure-treated wood.

Pro Tip: Fix the primary latch body containing the pull-knob onto the opening style of your moving gate leaf, and line up the matching strike receiver bracket directly opposite on the fence post. For flawless performance, maintain a clear horizontal operating gap of roughly 10mm to 12mm between the two components when closed. Ensure the molded center lines on both housings align horizontally so the internal magnet can pull the latch pin into position seamlessly without binding.
