Why is it feminine?

Serrature is feminine because it derives from the Latin "serrātura," a feminine noun formed with the suffix "-tura" (from "-tūra"), which regularly produces feminine nouns in Italian and denotes the result or product of an action—in this case, the product of "serrare" (to close/lock). The "-tura" suffix consistently assigns feminine gender to abstract nouns and objects formed from verbs throughout Romance languages.
