The Betley Butterfly Plain Ring-Handled Gate Latch is an ideal solution for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to secure wooden garden gates, side gates, and shed doors with a reliable, dual-sided mechanism. This 125mm surface-mounted latch provides convenient access from both sides of the gate, offering a classic aesthetic and robust closure; however, it is specifically optimized for wooden substrates and may require additional mounting hardware if being installed on metal or composite gate frames.

No, this latch is specifically designed for wooden gates. Installing it on metal may require specialized self-tapping screws or mounting plates not included.
No, this is a standard ring-handled gate latch that does not include a locking cylinder.
This specific model measures 125mm in length.
The silver finish is designed for outdoor use and provides protection against moisture, but regular maintenance is recommended to maintain the finish.
This latch is typically designed for gates that open in one direction. Check your gate swing to ensure the latch bar can seat correctly into the strike plate.
Adjust the position of the strike plate on the post or ensure the gate is not sagging.
Check for debris in the mechanism and apply a light silicone lubricant to the pivot points.
Remove the screw, fill the hole with wood filler or a wooden dowel, let it dry, and re-drill a smaller pilot hole.
To install this latch, ensure you have a drill, screwdriver, and level. First, position the latch mechanism on the gate at a comfortable height, marking the pilot holes through the mounting plate. Drill the pilot holes to prevent the wood from splitting, then secure the latch using the provided screws. The strike plate should be mounted to the gate post, ensuring that the latch bar engages fully when the gate is closed. For compatibility, ensure your wooden gate and post are structurally sound to support the weight of the hardware. To maintain the latch, periodically apply a silicone-based lubricant to the moving parts to prevent sticking and rust buildup. If the finish begins to dull, a light wipe-down with a damp cloth is usually sufficient for cleaning.
