I have this lock case lying around that I plan to install in a custom-made swing gate.

But if I want a handle, how do I solve that since this lock case doesn't have it?
Grateful for an answer to the silly question..

That house is for lock no. 2 or 3 on a store/office y-door. You can always put a fixed handle/knob on the door to have something to hold on to, but go and buy a suitable one at Biltema instead.
A suitable vad at Biltema you mean? 
Aha thanks for the quick response 
That's a deadbolt lock that only keeps the door closed when it's locked (pretty obvious), so no handle is needed to open the door. If a handle is needed, a regular external handle is screwed on.
Moreover, it's a narrow profile lock used in, for example, grill gates and similar, so the keyhole is very close to the edge, which is probably not optimal for a swing door.
If you want the door to stay closed when you slam it, you're looking for a latch lock. You could complement your deadbolt lock with a latch lock with only handle functions (i.e., without a locking function).
The question is whether it's economically sensible. Probably best to get another lock case that fits the purpose better.

Another lock case with the possibility of a handle was what I meant http://www.biltema.se/sv/Bygg/Las/Lashus/Lashus-for-cylinder-BT-565-1-2000023292/. But for a swing gate, I would have chosen a different solution.
Okay, what is a common lock case for a swing gate?
I have some ASSA 8765 lying around ...

I don't know much about swinging gates specifically, but it's probably an excellent example. The downside of that lock is that it has a straight bolt and therefore demands more that it can't be pried apart between the lock and faceplate. It might be obvious, but you also need an espagnole or something similar to secure the door where the faceplate is attached.Novisfixaren said:

The disadvantage with that lock is that it has a straight bolt and therefore places greater demands on preventing the gap between the lock and the strike plate from being pried apart. It goes without saying perhaps, but you also need to have an espagnolette or similar that secures the door in which the strike plate is located.
