Frequently Asked Questions

What type of gate lock should I choose for outdoor use?

Choose a heavy duty lock with corrosion-resistant materials and secure mounting hardware. Keyed locks offer enhanced privacy, while lever and slide latches provide quick access with reliable closure. Match the lock type to your gate style and security needs.

Are gate latches difficult to install?

Most gate latches install with basic tools and simple drilling templates. Ensuring proper alignment and level placement helps keep gates closing smoothly and securely. Some keyed locks may require a drilled hole through the gate material.

Can I replace just the latch or lock without replacing the whole gate?

Yes. Most gate locks and latches can be installed as a direct replacement for worn hardware. Measure existing hardware and verify mounting compatibility to make installation straightforward and effective.
