Hampton Antique Thumb Gate Latch Set
This thumb latch is a wonderful, cost-effective choice with a flippable locking option. No handing is required for this latch. This thumb latch accommodates gates up to 5" thick. Ideally suited for in-swinging gates. The latch is operable from both sides of the gate. On the inside of the gate, you'll lift the latch-bar to open the gate.
Recommended for gates with 1/2" gap between gate and post. If gap is less than that, catch plate may need to be mortised into the post.
Snug Hardware took an old latch produced in the 1800's as inspiration for their new traditional thumb latch. Made of stainless steel and zinc/aluminum alloy components it will never rust. It's finished with a high quality polyester exterior grade black powder coating. Fasteners are stainless steel.
Latch is supplied with two thumb bars (one for gates up to 3" thick and one for gates over 3" thick and up to 5" thick) to accommodate just about every situation.
This latch is traditionally styled to accentuate New England charm. At the same time it is very functional and robust. On the bar side a simple mechanical locking mechanism has been incorporated into the design.

Outdoor gate hardware falls into several types of gate latches: thumb latches, ring latches, lever latches, and bolt latches. Each operates slightly differently and brings a different aesthetic to your gate hardware installation. The categories of gate latches include spring loaded, bolt latches, and gravity latches.
