This Cast Iron Ring Turn Gate Latch is the perfect addition to any gate or door or shed. This product comes with a 3.5" spindle to fit the majority of gates. The spindle can be cut down if necessary to fit thinner gates. This gate latch should not be used without the gate stop. The drop bar WILL break without it. If you have a gate thicker than 3", please call us and we can provide a longer spindle.
