What It Is / How It Works

Flip latches and slide bolts are simple door and gate fasteners. They hold a door, gate, cabinet or window panel closed by flipping a bar over a catch or sliding a bolt into a keeper. They are commonly fitted to barn doors, cabinets, pet cages, garden gates, bathroom doors, garage doors and windows. Latches of this kind are sold in many sizes and finishes, so the right one depends on the panel it will hold.

Who It's For / Use Cases

Flip latches suit people who need a simple way to keep a barn door, cabinet, pet cage, garden gate, bathroom door, garage door or window shut. They are useful for anyone who wants a fastener that is worked by hand, and for households that want a plain, visible catch on a cage or cabinet door.

How to Use / Care

1. Use it to secure a barn or cabinet door, a pet cage, a garden or garage gate, or a bathroom or window panel.

How to Choose

Choose a latch by matching it to the panel it will hold. Check that the door, gate or cabinet has room for the bar to flip or slide, and that the catch sits where the bar can reach it. For a pet cage, pick a latch that lines up with the edge of the door. For a barn door or heavy gate, check that the bolt engages fully so the panel stays closed.
