90-Degree Right Angle Stainless Steel Barn Door Latch – 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.

Stainless steel doesn't rely on a surface coating to resist moisture. The matte black version is powder-coated carbon steel — suitable for dry interiors but not rated for sustained moisture exposure. Choose stainless for bathroom installations where humidity is ongoing, coastal properties, or any outdoor or covered exterior application where the latch will be exposed to moisture over time.
