Compact Mechanical Code Lock for Box Section Gates, Keypad Both Sides, Black Marine Coating

A compact mechanical code lock with a keypad on each side, for steel box section gates. It suits gates where people need a code to come in and also a code to leave, with no wiring or batteries to look after. The lock has a cast housing with a black marine grade external coating, stainless steel buttons and a stainless steel locking mechanism, and it has been salt spray tested for 1000 hours. There are ten buttons, nine coded and one clear, which gives over 1000 combinations, and the code can be changed on the gate behind a concealed shield. The lock is reversible on site, so either hand of gate is covered. It is a swing gate lock for external metal box section gates.

Why this lock works

A code in both directions. With a keypad on each side, the gate can be secured for entry and exit, which suits compounds and yards where people must not leave without the code.

No power, no batteries. It is a mechanical lock, so it keeps working on a remote site with nothing to wire and nothing to run down.

Coating and metalwork for outdoor use. The cast housing has a black marine grade external coating, the buttons and locking mechanism are stainless steel, and the unit has been salt spray tested for 1000 hours.

Change the code on the gate. There is no need to dismantle the lock to change the code, and the shield that covers the code change is concealed from the person at the gate.

Where it is used

Compound gates, plant room gates, school and sports ground access and yard gates, on external metal box section frames. It is a two-sided code lock, so choose a one-sided lock if the exit side should be free. Use a keyless lock like this one only where the code can be managed and changed when people leave.

Specifications

Choosing the right code lock

Decide first whether the exit side needs a code. This lock has a keypad on both sides. If people must be able to leave freely, a one-sided lock with a push pad or lever is the right choice. If your frame is 30mm section, check with us before ordering, as the supplied latchbolt and fixings are listed for 40 to 60mm.

Fitting and care

Drill the stile using the data sheet, fit the forend and latchbolt, and set the latchbolt length between 65mm and 90mm to suit your frame. Fit the keypad units and tighten the fixings evenly. Fix the keep to the post so that the latch enters squarely, then test the gate from both sides before you set your own code. Follow the instructions supplied for the code change.

Clear dust from around the buttons at routine maintenance and check that the fixings have not worked loose. Change the code when staff or contractors leave. Do not lubricate the keypad with a general purpose oil spray, which attracts grit.
