Overview

The Aylesbury Gates 6″ (150mm) Ring Latch is the ultimate choice for homeowners and contractors looking to secure larger, heavier wooden gates without sacrificing classic curb appeal. Striking the perfect balance between ornate traditional craftsmanship and rugged security, this premium latch ensures that substantial garden, driveway, or estate gates remain firmly shut against high winds and forced movement.

Equipped with an extra-long latch bar and oversized rings, it provides smooth, satisfying functionality and an ergonomic grip, even when wearing thick work gloves.

Key Features

• Heavy-Duty Gate Anchor: The reinforced gravity-assisted latch bar drops securely into the keep, preventing large timber gates from rattling or bowing over time.

• Universal Reversible Design: Can be easily surface-mounted on both left-hand and right-hand opening timber gates.

• Maximum Corrosion Protection: Coated in a high-durability exterior finish designed to shield the underlying steel from heavy rain, snow, and moisture.

• Extended Central Spindle: Supplied with a heavy-duty spindle designed to comfortably pass through thick framed, ledged, and braced (FLB) gates.

Installation Tip

Pro Tip: Because 6-inch latches are used on larger timber gates, wood movement due to seasonal weather changes is more pronounced. When installing the receiver keep on the fence post, leave a 2mm–3mm clearance below the latch bar. This ensures the gate will still latch cleanly if the timber swells during damp winter months.
