Gate Lock Keep 240 x 41mm, Black Steel, for 40mm Gate Lock Frame Kit

This is a black steel keep for gate lock frame kits: a 240mm long angle keep with slotted strike plates that bolts to the gate post and takes the latch and bolt of a concealed box section gate lock as the gate closes. It is made to suit the 40mm box section gate lock frame kit, where the lock sits inside a pre-cut stile, and gives the lock a strong, neat strike on the post with a stop edge for the gate to close against. It comes in black powder coat to match black gates. The price shown is for one keep.

Why use this keep

Matched to the frame kit. The slots line up with the latch and bolt of the concealed lock in the 40mm gate lock frame kit, so the lock engages cleanly without filing or packing.

Stop edge built in. The raised angle gives the gate a firm edge to close against, so the lock is not used as a gate stop and the latch is not strained.

Slotted for adjustment. Long fixing slots let the keep be set up or down and in or out to suit the hang of the gate before it is fixed tight.

Finished in black. Black powder-coated steel matches most black gates and railings, so the keep blends in on the post.

Where it is used

On the closing post of garden gates, side gates and pedestrian gates built with a 40mm box section gate lock frame kit, at homes, schools, offices and industrial units.

Choosing the right option

Choose this keep for a gate built with the 40mm box section gate lock frame kit, fixed to the face of the closing post. For gates with a 40mm to 60mm insert lock, use the insert lock keep, or build the post from a keep box with the keep already cut in. For surface-mounted locks, use the keep made for that lock.

Fitting and care

Hang the gate and fit the lock first. Close the gate, hold the keep on the post so the slots line up with the latch and bolt, and mark the fixing holes. Fix it loosely through the slots, adjust until the latch drops in cleanly and the gate stops against the angle, then tighten. Touch up any chips in the powder coat to keep rust away.
