Garden Gate Lock for 40mm Box Section, Surface Mounted, Black, with Handles, Cylinder and Keys

This is a surface-mounted lock for garden and pedestrian gates made from 40mm square box section: a black lock box bolted to the face of the gate stile, with lever handles, a self-latching day bolt that catches every time the gate closes, and a solid stainless steel deadbolt locked with a key. It is the straightforward, good-value choice for side gates, garden gates and small pedestrian gates where you want a proper lock rather than a simple latch. The housing and handles are tough black polyamide and the working parts are stainless steel, so nothing rusts. The price shown is for one complete lock with handles, cylinder and keys; the keep for the post is sold separately.

Why use this lock

Latches and locks. The day bolt springs into the keep when the gate shuts, so the gate stays closed without a key, and the handles open it from either side. When you lock up, one turn of the key throws the deadbolt 23mm into the keep.

No rust. The lock box and handles are polyamide and the bolts and mechanism are stainless steel, so the lock stands up to rain and garden use for years with little attention.

Fits on the surface. The lock bolts to the face of the stile with a 4-hole fixing and two socket head screws. There is no need to cut the gate open, as with an insert lock.

Left or right hand. The day bolt reverses on site, so one lock suits either hand of gate.

Upgradeable. It shares its fixing pattern with the heavier surface locks in the same range, so a busy gate can later take a stronger lock without new holes.

Where it is used

Garden gates, side and back gates at houses, gates in railings round front gardens, allotments, small courtyard and bin store gates, and other light pedestrian gates made from 40mm box section.

Specifications

What else you need

Choosing the right option

Choose this lock for light domestic and garden gates made from 40mm box section, where you want a latch and a key lock at a sensible price. For gates on commercial sites, schools or public spaces that get heavy use or rough treatment, choose a heavier surface lock with an aluminium case, or an insert lock that sits inside the stile. Check the stile really is 40mm box section; this lock does not suit other sizes. Order a keep for the post at the same time.

Fitting and care

Hold the lock against the stile, mark and drill the four holes, and fix it with the screws supplied. Fit the handles and spindle and the cylinder. Close the gate, mark where the bolts meet the post, and fit the keep so both the day bolt and the deadbolt engage fully. Set the day bolt for the hand of the gate. Fit a safety cable if the gate swings. Wipe the lock clean occasionally and put a little graphite in the cylinder once a year; do not oil the cylinder.
