Blocking Handle Pair for Insert Gate Locks, Black Aluminium, One or Both Sides Fixed

This is a pair of aluminium lever handles with long cover shields for insert gate locks, in black, made so you can fix one or both handles to stop them turning. Set up as supplied, both handles turn and open the latch from either side. Fit the blocking parts and one handle stays fixed, so the gate opens only from the side you choose, or fix both so the gate can only be opened with the key. That makes it easy to set up a one-way gate, such as an exit gate from a play area or a staff-only side gate, without changing the lock. The pair fits the 40mm, 50mm and 60mm insert locks in this range, and fixing bolts for gate profiles from 37mm to 65mm are included. The price shown is for one pair.

Why use blocking handles

Decide which side opens the gate. Most gate handle sets always turn on both sides. These can be set to turn on both sides, to turn on one side only, or to stay fixed on both sides, so you can control who can let themselves through without fitting a different lock.

Fixed handle still pulls the gate. A fixed handle does not open the latch, but it still gives a firm grip to push or pull the gate once it has been opened by key or from the other side.

Long cover shields. Each handle sits on a long shield plate that covers the follower and cylinder holes in the gate stile, giving a neat finish and protecting the lock body from rain and tampering.

Made to match the lock. The square 8mm follower and the 92mm distance between the handle and the cylinder centre match the insert locks below, so everything lines up without packing or redrilling.

Where it is used

Insert-locked pedestrian gates at schools and nurseries, play areas and sports grounds, pool and garden enclosures, and staff or service gates at offices, depots and car parks, wherever a gate should open freely one way but not the other.

Choosing the right option

Choose blocking handles when a gate needs to open from one side only, or only by key, and an ordinary handle pair would let anyone through. If the gate should simply open from both sides, a standard handle pair is enough. Check the lock first: these handles are made for the 40mm, 50mm and 60mm insert locks listed above, with a square 8mm follower and 92mm handle to cylinder centres, and the gate stile must be between 37mm and 65mm thick for the bolts supplied. Pick black or anodised silver to match the gate and the lock.

Fitting and care

With the lock already in the gate, decide which handles should turn. Fit the blocking parts to any handle that is to be fixed, following the instructions, then pass the follower through the lock and bolt the two shields together through the stile with the fixing bolts for your profile width. Check each handle works as set and that the cylinder lines up with its hole in the shield. Clean with warm soapy water; avoid abrasive pads on the anodised finish.
