Codelocks has launched its Adjustable Gate Latch, giving locksmiths and facilities managers an easier way to control access through perimeter gates where the gate and post spacing exceeds the range of a traditional mortice latch.
Jo Milne-Rowe, Managing Director at Codelocks, said: “This new product is quite literally filling a gap that other products can’t. There are many scenarios where standard mortice latches won’t work, and often the space between the post and gate will change over time. Giving locksmiths and facilities managers a customisable option lets them create secure, reliable fittings that can be readjusted in the future without the cost of replacements.”
Non-standard gaps are a common occurrence in outdoor applications where the ground, weather and a multitude of changing factors can result in non-standard post spacing.
Codelocks’ easy-to-use product bridges these gaps with its manually adjustable bolt that can be extended or shortened by rotating it. Once installed, a locking faceplate prevents further adjustment to create a secure fitting and fastens the bolt at the desired length.
It is adjustable from 12.5 mm (8/16”) up to 20.5 mm (13/16”), and to make readjustments, the faceplate must be removed by a user with the access code for the accompanying lock.
The latch is compatible with the CL400 Mechanical, CL500 Mechanical, and CL5000 Electronic ranges of locks, giving installers a wide selection of suitable locks for different applications.
The Adjustable Gate Latch is part of Codelocks’ Gate Solutions range; a line of products designed and made for withstanding frequent use and outdoor conditions in residential and commercial settings.
