Add additional security and protect your gate from being forced open with the GateCrafters Automatic Gate Lock. Easy wiring and bolt on design makes installation a snap. This device is designed for Pull-to-Open and Push to open Dual gate installations. This is a 12V - 24V DC solenoid lock. When 12V - 24V DC are applied to the lock the solenoid will pull back and release the lock. Once power has stopped being applied the latch is reset by spring. When it is closed it does not require power to stay locked, making it a fail secure device. In the event of power outage or malfunction the lock can be released by key. The momentum of the gate closing will push the lock latch against the receiving pin, push the latch back on the spring and then the latch will relock around the receiving pin to hold the gate closed.
Other gate locks required up to 10 pounds of force for a gate to lock. This force was generated from a gate closing quickly and banging shut. However, recent trends in automatic gate openers have resulted in gates slowing down as they are about to close. Without the speed generated from the gate banging shut, the gate does not have enough force to trigger the lock, leaving your gate vulnerable to wind and forced entry.
The Estate Swing lock solved this issue by using a pivoting system for locking shut. Allowing the latching action to require less than 1 lb of force. Noting this revolutionary feature, we at GateCrafters.com offer the GateCrafters.com OEM Automatic Gate Lock based on that design.
When it comes to functionality, the GateCrafters lock is the same as the Estate Swing lock. What separates the two is the GateCrafters.com OEM lock has a galvanized zinc coating and is left unpainted - the Estate Swing lock is powder coated black. Also the GCLock has a 1yr warranty as opposed to the 2 year warranty of the Estate Swing lock. These two aspects combined allow the OEM version to be available at a lower price than the original.
