Gatemate 1490196 70mm Long Throw Gate Lock Double Locking 5 Keys Stainless Steel Gatemate

This is a class gate lock! The quality of it is top notch, it’s heavy and strong in the hand. The lock mechanism is smooth and easy to turn. They certainly didn’t scrape on the materials to make it, it’s solid. It’s extremely easy to fit with the template that is included. You could also search for videos on YouTube of people fitting it for extra help. In the instructions it mentions about giving it a little lubrication so I wiped a thin layer of 3in1 oil around the main bolt that goes across, it hasn’t rusted at all with that. So I would say if you do that it’s perfectly weather resistant. The price of this lock is decent enough with the quality of it, but if you factor in the fact that you won’t need to pay anyone to fit it, it’s well worth the money. The drill bit provided must be worth a couple of quid at least also!

Ordered this based on current reviews and wanting a strong sturdy lock for a new gate I was building. This has done the trick! Looks great and very neat from the exterior side and mechanism works well. The number of keys provided is great incase I were to loose 4, I will still have one available! Only just installed it a few days ago so can't really comment on weather resistance as of yet however I am expecting it to rust quickly based on the previous reviews I have read. The lock itself is quite heavy and seems extremely durable. Haven't had any issues opening or closing the lock. The operation of it is very smooth. I would highly recommend this lock especially for the price paid.

A fantastic quality, secure gate lock that can be opened from either side. Fitting is fairly easy, but just a few tips: 1) They supply a 28mm wood bit in the box for the lock cylinder, which is OK. I strongly recommend using their template and then drilling a pilot hole in the middle and all the way through from BOTH sides. This will make it easier to drill the 28mm hole and it will prevent blowout (where the drill comes through and splinters the wood from the other side and looks a right mess) 2) I needed some 3mm ply as my gate and frame weren't aligned after 30 years. Maybe factor this in when you order. I bought some 3mm MDF here on Amazon. The lock bolt and striker plate (the metal bit on the frame that the bolt engages with) are a good snug fit - there is a little room, but you need to be fairly accurate. 3) You'll need a small drill bit for drilling the pilot holes. They used to include one on Youtube videos, but my pack didn't. A 3.5mm is ideal - it helps to seat the screws and makes installing it a lot easier. 4) Remove the self adhesive template once you've drilled the pilot holes. I forgot. I'm really impressed with this gate lock. I feel that the side/rear access to my house is better protected and we can access it from either side when we put bins out, gardening, parcels etc. I'm just sorry it took me 30 years to do it. Highly recommended lock.

Excuse the conditions of the gate in review as it’s going to be replaced very soon but can’t wait for the wife to make a decision on replacing it and the wall. Wanted to be able to open the side gate from both sides with a secure and sturdy lock. Searched around a bit but these kept being the best reviews as another cheaper didn’t seem as good quality, issues with keys and rusted quickly. Arrived next day nice and early so I could fit immediately. From the start the gate lock looked and felt quality. Good clear instructions, wood bit, screws and template. Went for the 70mm due to the timber brace I had added previously to gate for the bolt and padlock. Template on and started drilling and found the wood bit struggled a bit to get through but that could be my battery drill on its last legs. So drilled about 2inch in and then used a smaller wood bit and continued after with the bit that came with the lock (an option if the gate or door is thick). Job done and simply slotted lock into the gate, put bolt across and screwed on. Bolt across to measure where the receiver would go and screwed on. Final job was to put the brass housing on the outside. The brass screw heads are soft so a quick pre punch with a very thin screwdriver first before screwing them in. Key and bolt action smooth and seems strong. Looks all good quality and very happy. Ordered, delivered and fitted in less than 24hrs. All time record for me. Took about 2hrs to fit.

Brilliant lock... So easy to install and looks professional

Bought to replace an old lock of the same make and model, on an outside gate. It does the job and was easy to fit. A good quality lock. Very sturdy.

Arrived promptly and safely via Amazon Prime. Installed this lock on a garden gate to replace a bolt that could not be locked from the outside. Lock was easy to install, feels very robust and comes with heavy duty screws so would take some work to force off. Would strongly recommend and would re-purchase for any gate in future; allows gates to be locked from the exterior. Comes with multiple keys that are well made. There’s only one slight point in that it is sometimes prone to freezing in very cold weather so well advised to keep the lock well lubricated.

Il y a vraiment tout ce qu'il faut pour installer cette serrure en toute facilité. Vis, gabarit, mèche à bois de 28... La serrure en elle même semble etre d'excellente qualité et surtout, la course du pêne est suffisamment longue pour compenser le jeu qui se produit entre l'hiver et l'été... Bref, une bonne surprise.

Mycket bra produkt, enkel att sätta upp, är rejäl och säker.

I'm so glad I found this GateMate lock on Amazon. I was looking for an inconspicuous way to lock my new enclosure's swing gate adjacent to my house. As you will see in the photos, all that is visible is the brass lock cylinder itself. The action is smooth and resistance-free. Installation was easy with the right power tools. They even provide the 28mm bit for a perfect, clean hole and sticker templates for both left-hand and right-hand entries. Stickers, not some cheap piece of paper you have to cut out and tape. Marking and drilling the holes was easy. I recommend drilling the 28mm hole from the inside until you see the bit's tip poking through the outside, then drill the rest of the way from the outside inward for a clean finish on the exterior. This lock comes with strong chrome or zinc screws that don't strip with the impact driver. I chose not to use the included striker bracket, but it is just as strong. Thanks GateMate for an awesome product I would have never found locally!

Wow. Very good quality. I didn’t expect this good. In the package they have all everything you need to install as well.

Heavy duty and works well. Be careful in ordering do you need 2" or 2 3/4 " depends on thickness of the gate
