Gate Lock - Round

thingiverse

Round lock for outdoor use. I was chasing a lock/latch for my backyard gate however none fitted what I was after being a round, solid large latch. This was inspired by the Sliding Door bolt Print fully assembled by Bogul however I made it round so that I could drill a 12mm hole into the other side of the gate without having to print another part. I also made this in three parts as I had trouble printing the others fully assembled. In this design the Bolt sides into the base and then you screw in the bolt handle. This all fits snugly however slides with no effort at all. In the photos attached I printed only the original base without notches. I then cut (out of laziness) the notches rather than printing another base. Printing of supports is not required other than with the 'base with notches' which would obviously require some supports. I printed using Brims but this may not be necessary The bolt is 12mm in diameter. The base is 100mm x 50mm. The bolt extends approximately 45mm from the base. I printed this in PETG as it was for outdoor use and the added strength.
