Our December winner combined our Contemporary Nero Gate Latch with a modern brass square deadbolt and a Stainless Steel Cane Bolt. This sapele gate encloses a sunroom and as you can see, is beautifully finished with our satin black hardware. Shannon Williams is a true artisan! If you’re in the Santa Cruz, California, area, reach out and get in touch with him!
Note the hole drilled in the courtyard material to receive the cane bolt.
Please also take note of the gate stop, placed just below the latch. 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).
Another photo we received features our Oval Contemporary Gate Latch, which is spring-loaded.
Thank you, as always, for these lovely submissions!
