50mm Double Long Throw Gate Lock 5 Keys Garden Locking Both Sides

Brilliant piece of kit, easy to install and works really well.

After trying several options for our backyard porch door I am extremely pleased with this double sided lock. It is heavy, of good quality, slides well and leaves a natural sense of security. For us the best feature is that it can lock from both sides. The lock is of Chinese manufacture in and comes in a plain cardboard box, pre-supplied with its required solid screws and a backside brass cover plate. Importantly the lock comes with a set of 5 keys, so that there is a spare one for most family members. The lock requires some skill and tools to install. Most importantly, unless you are replacing and exciting hole-lock, you’ll need an appropriate sized hole drill (26 mm) and a strong drill. But also a plain slotted screw driver. And a smaller Philips tipped screwdriver for the cover plate. I already bought a hole drill set on Amazon a few years ago and this now came in very handy. It took me less than half an hour to put the lock in place. The hardest part and most-time consuming part is taking measures for the lock hole and making sure the bar slides in to its U-shaped buckle with ease. Especially for the lock hole and drill holes it would have been helpful if a paper ‘pattern mask’ with the correct measures was included so that you could draw the pattern on your door before drilling - given that the lock cylinder sticks out at both sides of the lock, you can’t easily place it on the door and make drill marks. I’m a bit worried that over time the buckle may not fit the bar that well as the porch door or fence might start to move a few mm’s due to weather, wear and rain. So it would have been better if the buckle didn’t fit it as tightly as it does right now - there is only 1 mm of space around it. And would have preferred it if a wider alternative buckle was included. But would this problem occur over time, I think I can address it with not too many complications. Aside from that, the only other very small downsides are the large screws; i.) the slots on the screw heads are irregular, leaving a slightly less than perfect impression when all in place, and ii.) after just one rain shower they showed some rust. But given the price, the overall quality and appearance of the lock I would still hand it five stars. It’s simply a very sturdy nicely made lock.

I bought the lock to replace a simple bolt on our house side gate which had functioned perfectly for years but only allowed access from the inside. I wanted to be able to open the gate from the outside. The lock itself is extremely well made and strong. I used a 26mm flat bit as recommended to make the hole; there is no room for error with this. The lock cylinder is a tight fit in the hole and it was lucky that I had used a small spirit level while drilling to ensure the hole was absolutely level. The large screws supplied are strong with square heads but the slots are a little on the shallow side and it is essential to use a well-fitting screwdriver or bit. I would have preferred hex headed screws so that a small socket could have been used. My only real concern is that, although the product description says "Heavy Duty Elongated Keep to Compensate Gate Sag" there is actually very little room for vertical movement and I am sure I am going to have trouble as the gate moves up and down depending on the weather. Why on earth couldn't the keep have been made with a decent amount of room for manoeuvre? 15-20mm of vertical space beyond the height of the bolt would have been better. However, apart from that caveat the product is really well made, not too difficult to fit and the provision of 5 keys is really excellent, so I am happy to give it at least 4 stars.

Great product,, heavy duty and super design, excellent quality,. Very pleased and has FIVE KEYS 👍👍

Bought to replace a shed lock of the exterior hasp type and an excellent choice this was! Well made, solid lock that fixes to the interior of the door, leaving just the locking barrel on the outside. Fitting instructions were basic, but easy to fit, although screw heads were a little soft given how big they are - had to drill deep pilot holes to get them going easily. I bought the 50 mm barrel length lock which protrudes about 5mm out of the door, which is 12mm tongue and grooove with a brace bar of about 30mm where the lock fits. This hasn't effected how the lock works, but be aware that the finishing plate is designed to fit flush with the barrel end. It does push over it however and gives a good finish and covers any gaps in the drill hole. Looked at this lock on various sites, from different sellers and some with a manufacturers name, but can't see what the difference might be and this was at a great price when compared ( prices ranged from £23 to £48). Very happy with this lock so far and will consider buying one for a side gate when we have used it for a while.

Good lock easy to fit

This is a solid lock and does the job well for a garden gate and a side door. The steel throw did start to show some rust on the outside one but I just grease it every few months and it’s fine. The brass key cylinder is good. I found that this is also used by a very good local builder who says they last well.

Seemed great at first but very quickly became too stiff and didn't unlike. Currently have a key snapped off in the lock. Don't waste your money.

This lock is exactly what I needed. I looked "everywhere" for a double sided gate lock with keys for both sides. Happy I found thus for such a bargain price. There are SIX keys! And it looks fine as well (to me) and works smoothly. Installation was a non-issue.

Instalado y funcionando perfectamente

Ein sehr gutes stabiles Schloss. Leicht zu installieren.

Gebruikt als slot op de poort. In het begin werkte het slot perfect. Maar na een tijdje begon de cilinder te wiebelen. En nu passen de sleutels er allemaal niet meer in. Zelfs WD40 lost het probleem niet op. De garantie is volgens de verkoper toevallig net verlopen.

Ottimo prodotto. Ideale alternativa alle classiche serrature per porte e alle relative lavorazioni di fresa sui fianchi dei masselli ecc. Questa serratura dotata di ben 5 chiavi è funzionale e facile da installare. Bravi!
