Wrought Iron Gate question

[yatesie]

Hi. Thanks in advice for any help. (Sorry if it's not very clear what I'm describing.)

I have a traditional wrought iron gate. The handle is flush to the gate, with an inch or two hanging over the edge, that rises up an inch.

What I need to know is the name of the piece of metal that attaches to the gate post, that the handle slots into to keep the gate securely closed.

Hi Yatsie,

Is generally known as a 'Keep'.

A 'keep' is generally what they are called.
