IBFM 067 Weld-on Door Latch 300mm

The IBFM 067 weld-on door latch is a high-quality hardware solution designed for secure and permanent door fastening. Measuring 300mm in length, this latch is specifically engineered for metal fabrication, allowing it to be welded directly onto steel gates, industrial doors, and heavy-duty access points. Its robust construction ensures long-term reliability and structural integrity, making it an essential component for demanding environments where security and stability are paramount.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this weld-on latch is its exceptional durability and resistance to mechanical stress. By welding the component directly to the metal surface, users achieve a significantly stronger connection compared to traditional screw-fixed hardware, which prevents loosening over time. The 300mm size provides ample leverage and reach, ensuring smooth operation even on larger or heavier gates. Its simple yet effective design minimizes the need for maintenance, providing a consistent locking mechanism that withstands frequent use in both residential and industrial settings.

Suitable for

• Heavy-duty metal gates
• Industrial warehouse doors
• Perimeter fencing access points
• Agricultural gate systems
• Custom metal fabrication projects

When it may not be suitable

This product is not suitable for installation on wooden, plastic, or composite doors, as it requires a welding process for proper attachment. It is also not recommended for applications where the door or gate material is too thin to support the heat and structural load of welding.

Key specifications

• Length: 300mm
• Material: Steel
• Installation type: Weld-on
• Application: Heavy-duty door and gate locking

How to use

Installation requires professional welding equipment and skills. First, position the latch on the desired location of the metal gate or frame to ensure proper alignment with the corresponding strike plate. Once positioned, use appropriate welding techniques to secure the latch base to the metal surface. Ensure the weld is clean and strong, and allow the metal to cool completely before testing the latch mechanism for smooth operation. Apply a protective coating or paint to the weld area to prevent corrosion.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure you have access to welding equipment and the necessary expertise for installation.
• Verify that the gate or door material is compatible with welding.
• Check the dimensions to ensure the 300mm length is appropriate for your specific gate frame.
• Consider the weight of the door to ensure the latch provides sufficient security.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the latch for signs of wear or rust, especially in outdoor environments. Keep the moving parts lubricated to ensure smooth locking and unlocking performance throughout the year.
