Morticed Field Gate Latch Set for Field Gates

£16.16
Tax included.

Morticed field gate latches are suitable for 5 bar-style field gates and allow a gate hung between wooden gate posts or brick piers to swing open both ways.
They operate very similarly to Spring Catch set with a central closer or a Suffolk Latch (Thumb latch) fitted to smaller domestic house gates.

    How to Use

    This catch is comparatively easy to fit, provided there is a gap of 40 to 50mm between the closing gate stile and the shutting post. There is a small amount of leeway as the latch striker can be shortened, or the latch plate can be shimmed out further if required.
    A slot approximately 60mm long x 8 mm wide needs to be cut in the centre of the hanging stile between the fourth and fifth horizontal bars (rails) for the latch striker. This is achieved by drilling a series of 8mm holes and cleaning out the slot with a sharp chisel.
    The latch plate should be screwed onto the shutting post in the centre at a height that allows the latch striker to easily ride up the curve and drop into the central slot from both directions.

    Please note:

    The slot must be correctly positioned. Check carefully before drilling.

    Gates cannot normally be returned once drilled or marked in any way.
    Recommended Aftercare

    Oil the pivot bolt regularly.
