Russell Fong designed and constructed this outdoor pool patio area. The double gate opens up to the courtyard. The double gate design riffs off the home’s entry door.
Interior view of the double gate. The left side has an extra dummy handle that allows for pulling/pushing the inactive door, when needed.
A brushed stainless contemporary cane bolt, 24” long. The length of the cane bolt doesn’t really matter, but it makes it easier to disengage if it’s longer since you don’t have to bend over as far.
Because it is a double gate, the fixed gate requires a cane bolt. The cane bolt holds the fixed gate in place and provide stability for the latching gate to latch onto. The bolt can be used also as a hold-open for when the gates are open. The client chose the 24” cane bolt so that they wouldn’t need to bend over too far to open it.
This stainless steel slide bolt is made here in our shop in Oregon. It has an optional locking area where you can use your own padlock. Slide bolt brackets have bushings for smooth operation.
There is an open-air dressing area with the same door design and the Alta Latch.
