This HeavenBird Long Throw Gate Lock in Black is designed for homeowners seeking enhanced security for gates and doors. Its primary benefit is the robust double locking mechanism and durable, weather-resistant construction. A potential consideration is its specific application for rim lock installations. Key features include a 70mm keyed cylinder, a 2-1/2" stainless steel bolt with a generous throw, and a high-performance epoxy coating for longevity.

This lock is designed for rim lock installations, meaning it mounts on the surface of the gate or door rather than being set into it. It's ideal for gates, sheds, and exterior doors where a surface-mounted lock is suitable.
The lock comes supplied with 5 keys.
Yes, the lock features weather-resistant (rust-proof) quality construction and a durable epoxy coating, making it suitable for outdoor use.
This refers to the length of the cylinder where the key is inserted. A 70mm cylinder is a common size, typically meaning 35mm on each side of the mounting point.
Installation is designed to be easy with no-mortising required, typically needing basic tools such as a screwdriver. Specific screw sizes for mounting are usually included or can be accommodated by standard hardware.
The bolt has a throw of 2-1/2 inches (63.5mm), indicating how far the bolt extends to engage with the frame, providing a secure locking mechanism.
The lock features a high-performance epoxy black resin coating, which is designed for durability and resistance to corrosion. However, like any finish, it can be subject to wear in heavily used areas.
Ensure the bolt is fully retracted and aligned with the strike plate or receiver. Check for any debris obstructing the keyway or bolt mechanism. Clean the keyway with compressed air.
Verify that the gate or door is properly aligned and closed. Check if the strike plate or receiver is correctly positioned and that the bolt path is clear. Ensure the gate hasn't sagged.
Clean the exterior of the lock, paying attention to the bolt and cylinder. Apply a small amount of a dry lubricant (like graphite or silicone spray) to the bolt mechanism and keyway. Avoid oil-based lubricants that attract dust.
While designed to be weather-resistant, extreme conditions can still affect the finish over time. Ensure the epoxy coating is intact. If minor surface rust appears, gently clean it with a soft cloth and consider applying a clear protective coating suitable for outdoor metal.
Setup:
This lock is designed for easy installation with no mortising required. Ensure the gate or door has a suitable surface for a rim lock. Align the lock housing and strike plate (if applicable) according to the instructions provided with the product. Secure the lock using the provided screws. The 70mm keyed cylinder should be oriented for easy key access.
Compatibility:
This lock is specifically designed for rim lock installations. It is best suited for gates and doors where the lock mechanism is mounted on the surface rather than set into the edge. Ensure the gate or door frame can accommodate the 2-1/2" bolt throw.
Care:
To maintain the lock's performance and appearance, clean the exterior periodically with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the epoxy coating. Ensure the bolt mechanism remains free of debris. For long-term preservation, especially in harsh coastal or industrial environments, a light application of a silicone-based lubricant on the bolt mechanism may be beneficial, but avoid over-lubrication which can attract dirt.
