Slide bolts and rustic latches secure gates, doors, and shutters by guiding a sliding bar or latch into a keeper to hold the panel closed.

Our collection includes options in a variety of design styles, materials, and finishes, including black powder coat, aged bronze, oxidized, and matte black.

If you’re not sure which bolt or latch is best for your project, review our buyer guide below or  contact our team of experts for recommendations.

Subcategories

  • Slide Bolt Latch Systems: Straightforward sliding-bar hardware that holds doors or gates closed

  • Lockable Slide Bolts: Slide-bolt hardware designed for padlocking and maximum gate security.

  • Heavy Duty Slide Bolt: Extra-strong construction built for large gates or heavy traffic.

  • Gate Latch Kits: Complete thumb-latch or lever-style kits designed for gates.

Buying Guide

  1. Usage & Load: For large or frequently used gates, choose heavy-duty slide bolts. Simpler latches work for decorative doors or shutters.

  2. Mechanism Type: Slide bolt latches offer a strong mechanical hold; latch kits with thumb/lever action offer easier one-handed operation.

  3. Material & Finish: Outdoor gates or exposed entries benefit from powder-coated or galvanized finishes to improve corrosion resistance and durability.

  4. Mounting & Strike Alignment: Ensure the bolt or latch aligns with the keeper or strike plate. Misalignment causes binding and early failure.

  5. Style Match: Latches should complement the door or gate's material and style (hand-forged iron for old-world wood, sleek forged steel for modern frames, etc.).

FAQs

Slide locks (or slide bolt latches) are secure when properly installed and fastened into solid material. They provide a straightforward bolt-into-keeper action, and many models can be equipped with a padlock for added security.
The difference between a lock and a latch is that a latch is a mechanical device that simply holds a door or gate closed, while a lock uses a key or combination to restrict access for higher security.
