D LATCH with STRIKER and Handle
D‑Latch with Heavy‑Duty Striker and Handle — Zinc Plated Gate Latch Set, Nyloc Nut Handle
Simple to fit and built to last, this D‑Latch set includes a heavy‑duty thick striker plate and a robust handle with a nyloc nut to stop rattling. Zinc‑plated for corrosion protection, it’s an ideal latch solution for timber and steel gates where dependable, low‑maintenance performance is required.
What are the benefits of this D‑Latch with Striker and Handle?
- Heavy‑duty striker plate — thicker gauge steel striker provides superior strength, resists deformation and gives a firmer engagement than light‑duty plates.
- Anti‑rattle handle — handle secured with a nyloc (nylon‑insert) nut so it won’t vibrate loose over time like standard nut fittings.
- Corrosion protection — zinc plating helps prevent rust and extends service life in outdoor environments.
- Simple installation — bolt‑on fitment works with common timber and steel gate frames; screws/bolts supplied depending on kit variant.
- Dual‑purpose design — easy to operate from either side when fitted with the included handle.
Key specifications
- Components: D‑latch body, heavy‑duty thick striker plate, handle with nyloc nut, mounting hardware (as supplied)

Installation tips
- Position striker so the latch engages squarely; test operation before final tightening.
- Use appropriate length bolts/screws for your gate material and pre‑drill pilot holes where required.
- Check and re‑tighten mounting hardware after the first week of use to ensure optimal seating; the nyloc nut minimises the need for frequent retightening.
