Man, everyone's a critic! ;-)

A) It's an improvement over having it just float in space, which was what my
first attempt looked like.

B) The "black bit" is the latch extension, an L-shaped rod that goes down to
the catch, and, when rotated, rotates the catch away from the hook on the
other side so that the gate can swing open.

See, I provide lots of details, even if they wouldn't work in real life. . .
..

Now, I'll go home and design some stronger hinges, a better latch, and maybe
even a more realistic way of embedding the hardware into the brick wall
than just having it poke out.
