Product Information

Full details

The Gatemaster Select Pro Long Throw Keylatch (SBKLLT1601) is an automatic gate lock designed for enhanced security on public access gates, alleyways, and communal areas. Its key benefit is reliable, automatic securing of gates upon closing with a strong, 22mm stainless steel bolt. A potential consideration is that it requires a key for operation on both sides, limiting casual access. Key features include a robust stainless steel bolt, suitability for gate frames 10-30mm thick, and a key-operated mechanism for both locking and unlocking.

What is included in the box?

Troubleshooting

Gate does not latch automatically

Ensure the gate is closing fully and not obstructed. Check that the strike plate is correctly aligned with the bolt's path. Verify the bolt is not sticking due to debris.

Key is difficult to turn

Check for any debris inside the keyhole. Ensure the bolt is fully extended or retracted by the gate's position; try operating the key when the bolt is not under pressure. Lubricate the lock mechanism with a graphite-based lubricant if necessary.

Lock feels loose after installation

Re-tighten the fixing bolts securing the lock to the gate frame. Ensure the gate frame is rigid enough to support the lock.

Bolt does not extend fully into the post

Confirm the gate frame thickness is within the 10-30mm range. Adjust the bolt length if possible. Check the alignment of the strike plate on the post.
