The Timco Ring Gate Latch is an ideal security solution for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to secure light domestic gates or flush-fitting single-action gates. This 6-inch latch offers the significant advantage of an external ring handle for easy access from either side of the fence, though users should be aware that the necessary fixings are not included in the package and must be sourced separately.

No, this product does not include fixings. You will need to purchase appropriate exterior-grade screws separately.
This latch is suitable for gates with a maximum thickness of 75 mm.
It is finished in hot-dipped galvanised steel, which provides a high level of corrosion resistance, though periodic maintenance is recommended in coastal areas.
Yes, as long as the gate is flush-fitting, this latch is designed for standard single-action gate operation.
The mounting backplate measures 70 x 70 mm.
Verify that your gate is flush-fitting. If there is a large gap between the gate and the post, you may need to add a wooden blocking piece behind the keep.
Check if the mounting screws are overtightened, which can compress the mechanism. Loosen the screws slightly or apply a silicone-based lubricant to the moving parts.
Installation requires basic hand tools including a drill, bits, and a screwdriver. Since fixings are not provided, ensure you select high-quality, weather-resistant screws that match the holes in the 70 x 70 mm backplate.
To maintain the longevity of your latch, periodically check that the screws remain tight and apply a light machine oil to the pivot point of the ring handle if it becomes stiff over time.
