  assuming it is a tall gate

  I'd use a rim latch or lock, with knob handles

  otherwise you would need to get something like two animal cage sliding bolts or standard padbolts, and weld a connecting piece

  if its a short gate, you can use a Kenham automatic gate catch

  or a gravity gate catch, but you would need a key to open it

    Thanks, the gate is 1.8m tall with 100 x 19 slats.

      Bolts, etc designed to secure, I'm sure you can get sliding flat metal bolts with  a pin / stud handle both sides, for metal cages / compounds

      or get a metal fabricator to make one

      but anything non-standard, will start costing £££

      I used have a tall wooden gate with a rim latch, but with a sliding catch / bolt on the inside to secure it, as & when
