Crossword Genius

Run to get latch (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bolt

This clue is a double definition.

'run' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'latch' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'to get' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for bolt that I've seen before include "Flash of lightening - run away" , "Runner" , "one may be shot" , "Eat (one's food) quickly" , "Fasten - run off - Jamaican sprinter" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
