Slide Bolt Gate Latch - 304 Stainless Steel Heavy Duty Barn Door Lock

About This Product

Homeowners with gates, sheds, or barns - this heavy-duty slide bolt latch is exactly what you need for secure, reliable locking! Made from solid 304 stainless steel with a matte black finish that's applied through high-temperature spraying, so it won't rust or corrode even with outdoor exposure. The latch bar has a substantial 14mm diameter that can withstand significant force, providing real security rather than just basic closure. What's really useful is the integrated padlock hole - you can add a padlock for extra security to keep intruders out or prevent children from accessing certain areas. Installation is straightforward with pre-drilled holes - just mark your positions, drill pilot holes if needed, and screw it into place. The black finish has a nice smooth texture that looks good while providing corrosion resistance. I've installed these on wooden garden gates, shed doors, and even basement doors with great results. The mechanism slides smoothly without sticking, and the construction feels industrial-grade rather than cheap hardware store quality. The 304 stainless steel underneath the coating means even if the finish gets scratched, the base material won't rust. They work on both wooden and metal surfaces, and the universal design fits most standard gate and door applications. Whether you're securing a backyard fence, storage shed, barn door, or even interior doors, this latch provides reliable security that lasts. The price is very reasonable for the quality you're getting - much better than flimsy zinc or plated steel alternatives that deteriorate quickly outdoors. If you need a durable, weather-resistant latch that will provide years of trouble-free service, this stainless steel slide bolt is definitely worth considering. It's one of those simple hardware pieces that just works exactly as it should, season after season, without failing or becoming difficult to operate.
