Types of Gate Locks

Gate locks are found in four basic types that have different mechanisms. They range from simple fence gate latches and slide bolts to advanced systems with sensors and alarms. There are also special gates that are required for fences surrounding pools. Here are some of the most common types of gate locks that you will find.

Padlocks

Padlocks are the most common gate lock with a key system. A padlock and chain is one of the tried and tested ways to secure your fence, bicycle, garden shed, or almost anything else you want to keep safe. They are effective and affordable. Padlocks come in many different sizes and strengths.

Solenoid and Electromagnetic Locks

Solenoid and electromagnetic locks use a tightly wound coil of wire that provides mechanical energy to open and close the lock. They are often found on drawers and cabinets, but you can also find fence gate lock mechanisms that use this type of system. They are often used in combination with other types of access control devices, such as a keyed lock or keypad. You can find them in both residential and commercial doors and fences. These types of locks are an excellent solution for an outdoor garden gate or a pool gate that you want to remain closed most of the time.

Keycode Locks

Keycode locks are those that require you to put in a passcode either through a keypad or push button pad. These are sometimes referred to as keyless door locks. Outdoor combination gate lock systems are available that allow you to lock or unlock them using your smartphone or services such as Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. Some work using a remote keyfob for keyless entry. They are a high-security solution for many outdoor and indoor situations.

Self-Latching and Childproof Locks

We install self-latching and child-proof locks on vinyl, wood, chainlink, and metal fencing. If you have an area of your property that you want to secure from children and pets entering it, we have many solutions that are safe and affordable. Safety is our primary concern when it comes to every lock that we install or repair.

What Causes Fence Gate Locks to Break?

Many reasons exist that would cause you to need to replace your outdoor gate locks. Perhaps your wooden fence gate lock needs to be replaced because the wood around it is soft and deteriorating. Vinyl fence gate locks often need to be replaced because they rust and the parts wear out. Sometimes, you might have a fence gate lock with a key broken off inside.

Although Houston winters do not get as cold as other parts of the nation, you can still experience a few nights below freezing. Water can get inside of the lock and expand when it freezes. This can cause the lock to break.

If you have a keypad lock or a padlock with several keys, it is a good idea to replace them if there is a chance someone else may have access. For instance, if a key or the combination was given to a former employee, it might be a good idea to change the locks or have them rekeyed to make sure access is restricted to only those you want to be allowed to enter. If you recently moved into a new home or apartment, it is a good idea to have the locks replaced because you never know who might have the keys or code.
