Specifications
| Brand | John George |
|---|---|
| Model | 1136 |
| Nominal Size | 5 inch |
| Finish | Black or Galvanised |
| Use Class | External / Garden |
What it's used for
- Fastening timber side gates and pedestrian garden gates
- Replacing worn or corroded ring latches on existing gate frames
- Securing close-board or ledged and braced garden gates
- Fitting to new timber gate installations alongside standard fixings
Fitting and handling
Fix the latch plate to the gate stile and the keep to the gate post, ensuring both are aligned at the same height before marking out screw positions. Use stainless steel or zinc-plated screws with the galvanised version to avoid corrosive reactions between dissimilar metals outdoors. If fitting to freshly treated or newly machined timber, allow the wood to stabilise in position before final fixing to account for any seasonal movement.
FAQ
What is the difference between the black and galvanised finishes?
The black finish has a painted coating suited to decorative or painted gate styles, while the galvanised version has a zinc coating that offers greater corrosion resistance and is better suited to exposed or coastal locations where moisture is a consistent concern.
Can this latch be fitted to both left and right-handed gates?
Yes. The John George 1136 ring gate latch is suitable for left or right-hand installation, as the keep can be fixed to either side of the gate post depending on your hinge arrangement.
Is a 5-inch gate latch suitable for heavy timber gates?
A 5-inch ring latch is appropriate for standard domestic timber garden gates. For heavier or wider gates, consider pairing it with a suitable gate bolt for additional security and to reduce strain on the latch mechanism over time.
