Extended Product Information
FAQs
What size gate frames is the SWD1650 suitable for?
The SWD1650 is specifically designed for gate frames with a 50mm steel box section.
Can I install this lock myself?
Installation requires welding the lockcase into the gate frame. This typically requires professional welding equipment and expertise. The internal lock mechanism must be removed before welding.
What is the throw of the deadbolt?
The stainless steel deadbolt has a 30mm throw, meaning it extends 30mm from the lockcase when engaged.
Can the lock be finished with the gate?
Yes, the weld-in lockcase can be galvanised or powder coated along with the gate. It is crucial to remove the internal lock mechanism before any finishing processes.
What is the benefit of an adjustable deadbolt?
The adjustable length allows for precise fitting on-site, ensuring perfect alignment with the strike plate on the gate post, even if there are minor variations in the gate frame construction or hanging.
Are there versions of this lock for different frame sizes?
Yes, Gatemaster offers Select Pro Weld-In Deadlocks for 30mm, 40mm, and 60mm steel box section frames, alongside this 50mm version.
What does 'keyed alike' or 'keyed to differ' mean?
Keyed alike means multiple locks can be opened with the same key. Keyed to differ means each lock requires its own unique key.
Troubleshooting
Lock is stiff or difficult to operate
Ensure the deadbolt is correctly aligned with the strike plate. Check for any obstructions within the lockcase. Verify the internal mechanism was reassembled correctly after welding.
Deadbolt does not fully extend or retract
Re-adjust the length of the deadbolt to ensure proper engagement with the strike plate and lockcase. Check for any binding points.
Lockcase was damaged during welding
Ensure the internal mechanism is removed before welding. If damage occurred, the lockcase may need to be replaced.
Key does not turn smoothly
Check for foreign objects in the keyway. Attempt lubrication with a graphite-based lock lubricant. Ensure the correct key is being used.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Preparation: Before welding, carefully remove the internal lock mechanism from the lockcase to prevent damage from heat.
- Positioning: Accurately position the lockcase within the 50mm steel box section frame of the gate. Ensure it is square and aligned with where the strike plate will be.
- Welding: Weld the lockcase securely into the gate frame. Once cooled, the internal lock mechanism can be reinserted.
- Adjustment: Fit the deadbolt and adjust its length to achieve perfect alignment with the strike plate on the gate post. This ensures smooth operation and secure locking.
- Reassembly: Complete the reassembly of the lock mechanism.
Compatibility:
- Frame Type: Exclusively designed for steel box section gate frames.
- Frame Size: This specific model (SWD1650) is for 50mm frames. Gatemaster offers variants for 30mm, 40mm, and 60mm frames (e.g., SWD1640, SWD1660).
- Operation: Keyed alike (all locks open with the same key) or keyed to differ (each lock has a unique key) options are available.
Care:
- Welding Finish: The lockcase can be galvanised or powder coated along with the gate. Ensure the internal mechanism is removed prior to any finishing processes.
- Regular Checks: Periodically check the lock operation and ensure no debris has entered the mechanism. If the gate is exposed to harsh weather, occasional lubrication of the keyhole might be beneficial.
