Insert Lock for Wooden Gates 85mm+, Stainless Hook Lock, Lock Only

This is an insert lock for timber gates: a mortice lock with a stainless steel mechanism that fits inside the gate stile, with a solid stainless hook and a self-latching latch bolt. Handles, roses and the euro cylinder are ordered separately, so you can match them to the gate. Together the hook and latch bolt hold the gate to the post so it cannot be prised apart. It is made for wooden gates with a profile at least 85mm deep, and it takes any standard euro profile cylinder. The price shown is for the lock only.

Why use this lock

Hook bolt security. A stainless hook with a 33mm throw locks into the keep and grips it, so the gate cannot be levered away from the post, which is the usual way to force a gate.

Latches every time. The self-latching latch bolt catches as the gate closes and can also be key-locked. It changes over for left or right-hand gates and adjusts by up to 20mm without taking the lock out.

Built for outdoors. The mechanism, hook, faceplate and latch bolt are stainless steel, and a cover plate keeps dirt out of the mechanism, so it keeps working on exposed garden and driveway gates.

Your choice of fittings. It takes any euro profile cylinder and standard lever handles on 92mm centres, so it can match existing locks and gate hardware.

Where it is used

Solid timber side gates, driveway pedestrian gates, garden gates and courtyard gates at homes and estates, and timber gates at commercial premises, where a neat, hidden lock with a key is wanted.

Choosing the right option

Choose this lock for a timber gate with a stile at least 85mm deep when you already have, or want to choose, your own handles and euro cylinder. If you want everything in one order, the complete kit includes handles, roses and an 80mm cylinder. For a gate that only needs latching, a Suffolk latch is simpler; for a padlock, add a hasp and staple.

Fitting and care

Mark the lock position on the gate stile, cut the mortice for the lock case and drill the holes for the handle spindle and cylinder at 92mm centres and 60mm backset. Fit the lock with your cylinder, handles and roses, then fit a keep to the post so the hook and latch bolt engage fully. Set the latch bolt with its adjustment. Wipe the faceplate clean and put a little graphite in the cylinder once a year.
