Gatemate 1490086 Double P11 Euro Long Throw Lock, Zwart/Roestvrij Staal, 50 mm

I had transformed a metal fence panel in my garden into a gate, which we wanted lockable from both sides. This worked perfectly and is now installed in our steel gate. I installed this 4 months ago and we have been using it on a daily basis (the locking bar for me could just slide into 2 steel sheets already on my fence, so I used the bracket for the bar as handle on my new "gate" instead. Nice quality, keys seem fine (just like with all keys - do not use brute force, is something seems stuck and you will be fine).SOLUTION - IF THE LOCK STARTS BEING STUCK:Yesterday, the lock suddenly could not be opened from one side anymore (as noted by other reviews as well) after 4 months of daily use, and now freezing temperatures. Sometimes you could not even fit the key in from one side - but here is an easy fix that did it: apply a few drops of light mineral oil (I used clipper oil) to the tip of the key, stick into the lock as far as possible without force and wiggle a bit; take out and repeat until you can put the key in and turn. Be patient and wait a bit in between, you can also add a little oil to the metal bar. It works just fine again! (this solution was recommended to me by a local locksmith) - Enjoy!I don't think it is the locks fault, as this open design, is what makes water easily access the mechanism and also makes thing dry out faster. The open design is what makes it so useful for many DIY applications.Very happy with it!

This is a solid lock, and installed properly cannot be pushed open by manually moving the bar even in the lock position. These who complained installed the lock wrong, likely upside down - follow the instructions. That was the only item that made me hesitate to buy it. My shed is now solidly locked up and only the seriously inclined to smash their way in have a chance.

 

War leicht einzubauen und funktioniert einwandfrei. Langzeittest steht noch aus!Fühlt sich Qualitativ hochwertig an

Très bonne serrure,

Excellent latch. Really good quality. I modified it to use it on my iron gate. Love the 2 sided key option.
