Snug Cottage Hardware Irish Gate Latches for Wood Gates

On a recent trip to Ireland we found this style of latch in common use throughout the countryside. We have made some modifications so that it will work with European Style Five Bar Gates and with our Maine Board Gate, Cape Cod Gate or any other style of Wood Rail Gate.

The use of the elongated escutcheon plate as a receiver on the gate post will allow for some gate and post movement, and it is easily installed by drilling a few holes, or routing a slot to receive the bar. You can use the supplied Cotter Pin to keep the latch locked in the closed position, or use a padlock (not included) for added security.

This latch is ideal for use with wood gates.
