Your Most Trusted Source for Rustic Hardware Clavos and Barn Door Handles
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.
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.
Usage & Load: For large or frequently used gates, choose heavy-duty slide bolts. Simpler latches work for decorative doors or shutters.
Mechanism Type: Slide bolt latches offer a strong mechanical hold; latch kits with thumb/lever action offer easier one-handed operation.
Material & Finish: Outdoor gates or exposed entries benefit from powder-coated or galvanized finishes to improve corrosion resistance and durability.
Mounting & Strike Alignment: Ensure the bolt or latch aligns with the keeper or strike plate. Misalignment causes binding and early failure.
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.).
