Product Information
Full details
The Gatemaster Locking Bolt is a robust and versatile security solution for wooden and metal gates, offering enhanced protection with a powerful 53mm deadbolt throw. Designed for ease of use and durability, it provides reliable security for various gate types. A potential consideration is the need for separate keep plates for non-wooden gates, which are sold independently.

FAQs
What is the difference between the GLBB and GLBB02 models?
The GLBB model is designed for gates up to 24mm thick and uses a standard euro cylinder. The GLBB02 model features an extended euro cylinder and is suitable for gates up to 60mm thick.
Does the lock come with everything needed for installation?
The lock comes with the GLBKT keep plate for wooden gates. If you are installing on a metal gate or other material, you will need to purchase the appropriate keep plate separately.
Can this lock be used on outward-opening gates?
Yes, the Gatemaster Locking Bolt is designed for versatile installation and can be fitted to left- or right-handed gates, accommodating both inward and outward opening designs.
Is the black finish durable?
The black finish is designed to be durable for outdoor use. However, like any external hardware, it may show wear over extended periods of harsh weather. Regular cleaning and maintenance will help preserve its appearance.
Can I get multiple locks that open with the same key?
Yes, the Gatemaster Locking Bolt offers keyed alike functionality, allowing you to purchase multiple locks that can be operated by a single key.
How do I clean the locking bolt?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the exterior. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Periodically lubricate the keyhole with a graphite-based lubricant.
Troubleshooting
Lock bolt does not engage smoothly.
Ensure the keep plate is perfectly aligned with the lock bolt. Check for any obstructions in the gate or frame where the bolt travels. If using a non-standard keep plate, verify it is the correct type for your gate material.
Key is difficult to turn.
The lock may require lubrication. Apply a graphite-based lubricant into the keyhole. Ensure the gate is fully closed and not under strain, which could be binding the bolt.
Lock is stiff after prolonged exposure to weather.
Clean any debris from the lock mechanism and keyway. Apply a graphite lubricant to ensure smooth movement of internal parts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:

Care:
