Without further ado, our May winner (chosen at random from the submissions we received) – starring Coastal Bronze’s Dark Bronze Two-Sided Thumb Latch and a self-closing hinge combo set, also in dark bronze.
We love how the latch and hinges fit in so perfectly with the design of this Palm Springs courtyard gate!
Here’s a close-up, latched with a surface strike…
And then note that the latching side of the gate is the same side that the gate opens toward (this is true for all of our two-sided latch sets):
While we can’t see it in the photos, we’re sure our client added a gate stop. Gate stops are included in all of our packages – and for good reason! You can read more about them in this blog post (and parts 2 and 3), but in short, your latch-arm and catch are meant to latch the gate, not stop it. A gate stop will – and will protect your hardware from damage caused by a gate slamming shut (not to mention, keep your warranty valid).
A sunny day and some pops of green sure have us feeling ready for summer – thanks again to our customer for sharing such a satisfying project!
