Hi,

We need to fit an electric lock to a gate that can be operated by a keypad on entry and a press button on exit. It is a 5 bar gate type and we have 240v power nearby - it will be installed by the appropriate person but I've been tasked with research!.

Can anybody advise on what we should be looking at using?


Thank you
Tom

Just a lock and manually operated gate or a lock and gate that has a motor to open and / or close it ?

If motorised then give thought as to how to disconnect the drive if you need to open or close the gate during a power cut ( use 12 volt and a backk -up battery ) or a mechancal link that can be removed to allow the gate to be opened and close by hand after the motor has failed.

Also give thought to the access of emergency vehicles, if making a 999 call for services to the house then provide the access code to the call taker.
 
Hi Bernard - thank you for the reply - we are just looking to for a lock for a manually opened gate.

The gate provides a 'secondary' access - the property is signed to another access route that is ungated.

Thanks,
Tom
