Frequently asked questions
Common questions about ROCKWOOD from 3G Electric.
What materials are used in ROCKWOOD gate latches?
ROCKWOOD gate latches are constructed from cast brass, which provides resistance to corrosion and mechanical wear. The material is suitable for outdoor use in various climates, though periodic maintenance may be required in coastal or chemically aggressive environments. The cast-brass body is paired with a steel or brass bolt, depending on the specific model. Finishes are applied as a matte coating to reduce glare and fingerprint visibility.
Are ROCKWOOD gate latches compatible with standard gate thicknesses?
Yes, ROCKWOOD concealed-button gate latches are designed to fit standard gate frames and posts with thicknesses up to approximately 1.5 inches. The 5/8 in bolt head diameter and included mounting hardware accommodate common residential and commercial gate profiles. For non-standard thicknesses, shims or custom mounting may be required. Always verify the gate material and thickness against the latch's installation instructions before purchase.
What is the difference between ROCKWOOD models 602.10 and 602.4?
The primary difference between ROCKWOOD models 602.10 and 602.4 is the finish color. Model 602.10 has a bronze matte finish, while model 602.4 has a brass matte finish. Both are made from cast brass with a concealed-button latch mechanism and a 5/8 in bolt head diameter. The choice depends on aesthetic preference and matching existing hardware. Functionally, they are identical.
Can ROCKWOOD gate latches be used on both left- and right-hand gates?
ROCKWOOD concealed-button gate latches are typically non-handed, meaning they can be installed on either left- or right-swinging gates without modification. The latch mechanism operates symmetrically, and the strike plate can be mounted on either side of the gate frame. Always confirm the specific model's installation instructions, as some variants may have handed components.
