90-Degree Flip Latch for Barn Doors – Matte Black Privacy Lock

The strike plate mounts to the face of the door and travels with it as it slides; the latch body mounts to the wall alongside the opening and stays put. Both parts sit on flat, forward-facing surfaces — the raised bosses on each plate carry the arm across the gap where the door stands off the wall. Give the arm a quarter turn and it catches the strike plate, holding the door closed; turn it back to release. Because the latch body is stationary, nothing protrudes from the moving door to catch on anything as it slides open.

It keeps the door from sliding open — it's a privacy latch, not a security lock. Someone on the other side cannot slide the door open while the latch is engaged, but it does not lock with a key and is not designed to resist forced entry. For bathroom and bedroom privacy, it's the right solution. For rooms requiring true security, a keyed lock is the appropriate choice — see our locks and latches collection.

This is a powder-coated carbon steel latch designed for interior use. It is not outdoor rated and will corrode in sustained outdoor or high-humidity environments. For outdoor, coastal, or bathroom installations where corrosion resistance matters, see the stainless steel flip latch.
