A: With "to latch" it means closing something so it won't open again. It is not something that has any real security though. A person may latch a gate so their dog does not escape, but anyone could open the gate. However, the gate could not be pushed open by the dog.

With "to lock" it means closing something so only certain people can access it. When you lock a door with a key it means only those people with a key can access it. Using the above example, if you lock a gate, the dog can't escape. However, only a person with the key can open it. While with 'latch' anyone can open it.

A: The latch is on the side of the door that closes and allows the door to be securely locked.
The hinge is on the side of the door attached to the wall and allows the door to swing open and closed.
"I don't feel safe in this room. The latch is broken and I can't lock the door."
"The hinge is squeaking. Every time I open or close the door, it makes a terrible noise."

A: "To latch" generally implies a sense of desperation or emergency. But, not always. For example, you would likely just say "I held on to my drink." If you were just casually holding a beveragee. But, you would say "I latched on to his arm to keep him from leaving" if you were trying to stop someone from doing something. I hope that makes sense!
