Pin It

A slide bolt gate latch, or sliding bolt gate latch as it's also sometimes known, is one of the most common types of gate latches used in many parts of the world.

This type of gate latch is usually quite simple, consisting of a bracket on one gate leaf, a sliding pin that is fitted into that bracket, and a catch of some kind on the other gate leaf or a gate post.

There are sliding bolt gate latches that have tamper-resistant housings for higher security sites, and these kinds of gate latches come in a variety of sizes, designs, and finishes, so there's one that's suitable for most types of gates.

Slide bolt gate latches are also usually pad-lockable, so you can add a keyed or keypad-operated lock to your latch for added security.

Sliding bolt gate latches are always manually operated, and they are not suitable for gates that require automatic latching or if you plan to automate your gate.
