Gate lock

[b21playa]

Hi all

Currently have a Gatemate double lock on my garden gate. The lock has been snapped so I opened it up and see the cylinder isn’t replaceable. Had to get a whole new lock at just shoot £60!

Is there anything similar out there with replaceable cylinders? The actual lock casing etc is good and strong just shame about the cyclinder

Thanks

How old is it? I doubt any alternatives will have anything replaceable either, they'll be cheaper imitations. You could reach out to the manufacturer and see if they're sympathetic!

the lock is about 3-4yrs old.

Good idea, I’ll reach out to them…I’d be happy even if I could buy a replacement cylinder

Gatemate do Euro ones. i don't have experience with them but i assume they are replaceable with standard euro locks, which you can get in many places pretty cheap.
for example here, on their home page, just scroll down a little. it seems like they do a couple of varieties.

This is what I already have but the cylinder is a proprietary one and not a standard euro cylinder

my approach would be the same as freddiemercurystwin, to message the company and cross your fingers. if you did like the lock but are forced to buy a new one then next time get the euro. i wouldn't know what other locks to recommend, sorry.
my fingers are crossed that they can look after their customers. at £60 for a lock i would expect them to!

Spoke to Gatemate who didn’t offer anything and whole lock needs replacing

A "euro cylinder" is a standard, so there must be more to it than this. Pictures?

I didn’t take pictures as half the lock was missing but found something similar.

The center cam had a gear on it which drove the sliding bar.

I've never heard of that but a quick google suggests they're generic and usually have 10 teeth.

Yes 10 teeth but very pointed rather than flat cogs like picture I posted. The pointed teeth fit into dimples in the bar. Pictures attached

I still have the cog from the old lock, thinking about buying a new cylinder and seeing if the cam can be swapped. Anyone know if this is possible with something say like an ultion or take 3* lock.
