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).
