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.
