FIL: Isang piraso ng metal o kahoy na ginagamit upang isara at ikandado ang pinto, bintana, o tarangkahan.
EN: Latch; bolt (for a door or gate).
That metal or wooden thingy on the gate you slide to lock it. Before smart locks and deadbolts, the humble tarangka was the OG security system of the Pinoy household. It's the reason you have to shout "Tao po!" really loud.
From Spanish "tranca" (bar, bolt).
🇵🇭 Pakisara ang tarangka ng pinto para hindi makapasok ang aso.
🇺🇸 Please close the latch on the door so the dog can't get in.
🇵🇭 Kinakalawang na ang tarangka ng aming gate.
🇺🇸 The bolt on our gate is already rusting.
