  • Ring Latch amzn.to/2f9xcGn
    Different Style amzn.to/2f9zapQ
    More hammered look amzn.to/2f9y7GI
    You can pick this up at Home Depot like I did or you can find it online, but the price is usually higher online. It says 6" and I guess that means the length of the latch not the size of the ring. It was installed perfectly the first time and works great so I went and bought a few more for the other gates.

    Thank you bought a latch like this and there were no instructions. I'm pretty sure I can fit it now and being a single mom good to learn new DIY stuff so not relying on asking anyone to help😁

    Sending the last part of this to DPD UK to use as training for the driver who just dropped a parcel over my unlocked 7ft gate...

    2.18- To avoid bursting the wood out on the other side of the gate/door etc, drill using a small drill bit before using the larger drill bit. Same with brickwork/concrete etc. I hate to see a pipe coming out of a building with the face of the brick shattered. It looks terrible. (You can even use the larger drill bit from the other side once your pilot hole is in. Just go in an eighth or so to 'get it started'.)

    Use a spade drill bit. Drill just enough till the spur slightly protrudes the other side, then drill through from the other side. Youll avoid splitting the wood.

    Nice looking latch. The one i have now is cheap looking, doesn't work great. I now have a new project to work on this weekend.

    Yup..I love it..it enables the user to access the gate from either side,also..on the inside,the homeowner can lock out the outer latch..much,much..better than the stupid,string and slam lock.

    So if you skip that holding bar, will the handle swing all the way up so it can be used with a dual swinging gate? The USA no longer makes those dual sided bolt latches.

    Try pilot holes next time. It works much better and you don't strip out the screws.

    Perfect. I just bought this exact same latch and now I know how to install it. The instructions that came with it, were not that helpful. Thank you!

    Can I ask what you used to cut the metal part, that goes through the gate?

    • @AdamDIY
      @AdamDIY  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      A hacksaw. You can get them very cheap. Around $7. I think even Walmart sells them.

    As long as you covered the "tear-out" you don't need to waste time using a pilot drill and that BS like some of these newbies suggested. As for installing latch on steel fence as Zakria Zaki asked, just use drill bits that are fit for metal.
