SNIBBING Meaning and
Definition
-
Snibbing refers to the act of securing or fastening something using a latch or bolt mechanism, typically done to ensure the closure or immobilization of a door or gate. It involves the engagement or disengagement of a latch or bolt by sliding or pulling a lever, handle, or similar device. Snibbing is usually employed to keep a door or gate locked or to hold it in a closed position.
The term "snibbing" is often employed in the context of traditional or older-style locks and hardware, where, instead of using modern key or combination mechanisms, physical manipulation of a snib is necessary to secure or release the lock. Snibbing may involve sliding or rotating the latch bolt manually into a recess, setting a bar into a keep or strike plate, or aligning a locking mechanism to engage with a strike or bolt plate.
Snibbing can also refer to temporary or partial closure and fastening. For example, it can involve using a snib to secure a door without fully locking it, allowing for easy access while still providing some level of security. In this sense, snibbing provides a convenient means of temporarily securing a door or gate by holding it closed without the need for fully engaging a locking mechanism.
Overall, snibbing is an action that involves operating a latch, bolt, or lever to secure, fasten, or partially close a door or gate, typically utilizing manual manipulation rather than a key or digital method.
Etymology of SNIBBING

"Snibbing" is a Scottish term used primarily in Northern Scotland, especially in the Aberdeenshire region. It refers to the act of securing a door or gate by using a latch or bolt to keep it closed.
While there is no definitive origin for the word, it is believed to have originated from the Scots language or the Doric dialect spoken in the region. It may also have connections to other Germanic or Scandinavian languages.
Unfortunately, due to the limited documentation on this particular term, a more detailed etymology cannot be provided.
