Product Information

Full details

The Gatemaster GLD60 is a heavy-duty double-throw latch deadlock specifically engineered for 60mm steel gate frames, ideal for traditional wrought iron gates needing separate handles. Its primary benefit is offering robust security through a deep deadbolt throw and a secure weld-in case design, while a key consideration is the need for separate handle purchase and fabrication before final mechanism insertion. This lock provides a reliable, high-security solution for secure gate closure.

FAQs

Can I use any type of gate handle with the GLD60?

The GLD60 is designed to accept standard gate handles. It is recommended to verify the dimensions and fitting mechanism of your chosen handle to ensure compatibility.

Does the GLD60 come with a Euro cylinder?

No, the Gatemaster GLD60 lock case is supplied separately from the Euro cylinder. You will need to purchase a compatible 5-pin Euro cylinder and standard gate handles separately.

What is the advantage of a weld-in case?

A weld-in case allows the lock mechanism to be inserted after the gate has been fully fabricated and finished. This prevents damage to the lock during welding and finishing processes and ensures a clean final appearance.

Is the GLD60 suitable for external gates?

Yes, the GLD60 is a robust lock designed for steel gate frames and is suitable for external use, providing high security for garden or entrance gates.

Can I order multiple GLD60 locks to work with the same key?

Yes, the GLD60 is available with 'keyed alike' options, meaning multiple locks can be supplied to operate with a single key.

What is the deadbolt throw on the GLD60?

The Gatemaster GLD60 features a substantial 24mm deadbolt throw, offering enhanced security.

Troubleshooting

Lock mechanism is stiff or difficult to operate.

Ensure the gate is properly aligned and not sagging. Lubricate the internal mechanism with a graphite-based lubricant. Check for any obstructions within the lock case.

Deadbolt does not extend or retract fully.

Verify that the handle mechanism is correctly connected to the deadbolt. Ensure there are no obstructions within the gate frame or lock strike plate. Check the alignment of the gate with the frame.

Gate is difficult to lock or unlock.

Confirm that the gate is properly seated in the frame when attempting to lock. Ensure the strike plate on the gate post is correctly aligned with the deadbolt. The gate may require adjustment or the strike plate repositioning.

Lock cylinder is jammed.

Do not force the key. Gently try to wiggle the key while turning. Ensure the correct key is being used. If debris is suspected, try cleaning with compressed air. If the issue persists, the cylinder may need replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides high security with a substantial 24mm deadbolt throw.
  • Robust construction suitable for heavy-duty gates.
  • Flexible installation for both left and right-handed gates.
  • Simplifies fabrication with a weld-in case that allows pre-finishing.
  • Compatible with standard gate handles for aesthetic choice.

Cons

  • Requires separate purchase of handles.
  • Installation involves welding, which may require professional fabrication.
  • Primarily designed for steel frames, less adaptable to other materials.
  • The internal mechanism is inserted after finishing, requiring careful timing during fabrication.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Fabrication: Weld the Gatemaster GLD60 lock case into the prepared aperture in the 60mm steel gate frame. Ensure precise alignment.
  2. Finishing: Complete all gate finishing processes (e.g., painting, powder coating) after the lock case is welded in but before the internal mechanism is inserted.
  3. Mechanism Insertion: Once finishing is complete, carefully insert the internal lock mechanism into the case.
  4. Handle Installation: Fit the chosen standard gate handles (sold separately) and connect them to the lock mechanism as per handle manufacturer instructions.
  5. Cylinder Installation: Install the 5-pin Euro cylinder, ensuring it is correctly oriented for the handle mechanism.

Compatibility:

  • Frame Size: Specifically designed for 60mm steel gate frames.
  • Handing: Suitable for both left-hand and right-hand opening gates.
  • Handles: Compatible with standard gate handles (verify dimensions if using non-standard handles).
  • Cylinder Type: Uses a standard 5-pin Euro profile cylinder.

Care:

  • Periodically check for smooth operation. Lubricate the mechanism if stiff using a graphite-based lubricant.
  • Keep the lock cylinder clean and free from debris. Use compressed air if necessary.
  • Inspect the weld points for integrity regularly.
