Door Hardware - Gate Sets

Gate hardware sets fold a latch and a lock into one body

Gate hardware sets combine a latch, and in some versions a key cylinder, inside a single housing, unlike a house entry door which typically splits that job between a separate lever and a deadbolt. That leaner build suits how a gate actually gets used day to day: mostly opened and closed by hand, only occasionally needing to stay secured against anyone who shouldn't get through.

Two widths cover most gate frames

A narrower plate suits a picket-style gate or a lighter side entry, while a wider option gives a bigger paneled gate enough visible presence to look intentional rather than undersized. Both widths ship with an optional key cylinder built in, and separately as a version that swaps the cylinder for a simple press-down catch, useful when speed of use matters more than restricting entry.

Plain versions for latch-only jobs

Not every gate needs a lock at all. A version with no cylinder whatsoever handles the latch function alone, a reasonable pick for an interior fence line or a gate that only needs to stay shut against wind or a pet, not against a person determined to get in.

Matching hardware across a double gate

Where two leaves meet in the middle, mismatched plates stand out immediately once the gate swings closed, since both sides sit side by side at eye level. Order identical hardware for each leaf of a pair rather than mixing shapes, and settle which leaf carries the working lock before placing that order, since the second leaf usually only needs a passive catch. A side yard gate shared by kids running in and out, or a dog going back and forth all afternoon, puts real cycles on a latch that a front entry rarely sees in a given week, so budgeting for an earlier replacement on that busiest gate isn't unreasonable planning.
