There are four main types of shed door latch that i am going to describe.
The lock beats other shed door latches that have the same style.
Door handles that have their own built in locks are great for bedroom doors or house doors with a deadbolt installed.
Shed door latches differ from locks in that they are primarily designed to keep a door closed not secure it against potential intruders that is the job of the door lock.
The door is locked at the end of the day when you have finished your work in the garden.
Not the best way to secure your shed.
For many sheds a simple shed latch is all that is needed to stop the door from flapping in the wind while you are working in the garden.
The type of shed door lock that you use is driven by the type of door on your shed.
A fully framed door can have a mortice lock in the same way that you have for your house.
So if you are going to install a door handle with a built in lock you should be prepared to install a deadbolt for added security.
