Our Irish Gate Latch is modelled after latches commonly used throughout Ireland’s countryside. Its operation is simple but very effective. We designed our version to work effectively with the European-style Five Bar Gates, as well as our own Rail Gate plans (refer to Free Gate Plans).

Installation Specs
Ideally used for any open rail gate that will latch to a post.
It installs on the inside of gate stile and accommodates varying stile thickness as well as varying gaps between the gate and the post. The rod can be cut down in size if needs be for narrow stile installations.
Supplied with our elongated Escutcheon Plate for use as a receiver on the post will allow for some gate or post movement. It is easily installed by drilling a few holes or routing a slot in the post to receive the bar. The Escutcheon Plate can also be mortised into the post for an ultimate, clean finish.
