6 inch ring latch manufactured to provide a strong, reliable, and traditional latching solution for timber garden gates and fencing access points. Finished in a zinc plated coating, this latch combines practical function with a classic appearance, making it suitable for a wide range of domestic and light trade applications.

Each 6 inch ring latch is produced from robust steel and finished with a zinc plated coating to help protect against corrosion and general weather exposure. The zinc finish provides an effective protective layer, making the latch suitable for outdoor use where it will be exposed to rain, damp conditions, and temperature changes throughout the year.

The 6 inch size offers an excellent balance between strength and ease of operation. It provides a solid fixing point and smooth action while remaining compact enough for use on standard garden gates. This makes it a popular choice for pedestrian gates, side gates, and garden access points.

Ring latches are traditionally used on timber gates and are designed to be operated from one or both sides depending on installation. The circular ring handle provides a comfortable grip, allowing the gate to be opened and closed easily. When paired with the latch bar and keep, the mechanism holds the gate securely in the closed position.

The surface-mounted design makes installation straightforward. The latch body is fixed to the gate, with the keep fitted to the gate post or frame. This allows flexibility in positioning and makes the latch suitable for a wide range of gate styles, including featheredge, shiplap, and framed timber gates.

Zinc plated ring latches are particularly well suited to garden environments. The corrosion-resistant finish helps prevent rusting and deterioration, reducing the need for frequent maintenance. This makes them a practical choice for outdoor installations where long-term reliability is important.

This 6 inch ring latch can be used on both left-hand and right-hand opening gates. Its versatile design allows it to be fitted in different orientations, making it suitable for new installations as well as replacement work where an existing latch needs upgrading.

In addition to providing a secure closure, ring latches also help stabilise gates when closed. By holding the gate firmly against the post, the latch reduces movement and rattling caused by wind, improving the overall feel and performance of the gate.

The zinc plated finish provides a clean and neutral appearance that complements a wide range of gate ironmongery. It pairs well with zinc or galvanised hinges, Brenton bolts, and other common gate fittings, helping create a consistent and professional finish across the installation.

For best results, the latch should be fitted to sound timber and aligned carefully to ensure smooth operation. Fixings should be tightened securely but not overtightened, allowing the latch mechanism to move freely without binding. Correct alignment between the latch and keep is essential for reliable performance.

This ring latch is suitable for both domestic and light trade use. It is commonly used on garden gates, side entrances, and fencing access points where a simple and effective latching solution is required. Its traditional design makes it suitable for a wide range of property styles, from modern homes to more traditional settings.

Ring latches remain a popular choice due to their simplicity, ease of use, and dependable performance. They provide a practical solution where a padlock or keyed lock is not required but a secure and reliable gate closure is still needed.

If additional security is required, the ring latch can be used alongside other fittings such as Brenton bolts or padlocks, depending on the application. This allows users to tailor the level of security to suit their specific needs.

The 6 inch zinc plated ring latch offers a dependable and cost-effective solution for securing timber gates. Its combination of durable construction, corrosion-resistant finish, and traditional design makes it a practical choice for a wide range of garden and fencing applications.
