Description
Traditionally sand cast at Kirkpatrick’s Walsall factory, the Rustic Gate Latch 4438 is manufactured from malleable iron for strength and durability. The smooth casting pattern gives the decorative design a restrained surface treatment.
Kirkpatrick reports that an example fitted to its factory doors remained functional after more than 25 years of use, operating over 20 times a day. This is an account of that installation rather than a stated warranty. A range of finishes is offered; the black version receives paint beneath black powder coating for protection.
