Electric Gate Lock for Automatic Swing Gates

This electric gate lock is designed for automatic swing gate systems requiring additional security and holding force. Suitable for 12V gate automation systems, it helps prevent gate movement caused by wind pressure or forced entry while improving long-term motor reliability.

Our electric gate lock will unlock and lock automatically when you press the button on your remote control.

The gate lock works perfectly with the E8 and TMT gate automation – you simply connect the 2 wire cables from your gate lock to the main control board of your system. It locks using the momentum of the gate motor closing and only uses power for a short second to release the lock.

If your gate is set up in the push to open mode, the gate lock needs to be installed on the outside of the gate. Electric locks are suited for all gate lengths and especially recommended for gates over 3.5mtrs and gates with an enclosed surface area. The electric lock will only open by the use of remotes, keypads or visitor push buttons. If installing the gate lock onto double swing gates, the gate fitted with the gate lock must be the gate which opens first and closes last.

An electric gate lock provides added security, stability, and reliability for automatic swing gate systems. While many automatic gates operate without a lock, installing an electric gate lock can significantly improve the performance and protection of your gate automation system.

One of the main benefits of an automatic gate lock is improved security. Electric locks help prevent forced opening by securing the gate in the closed position, making it much harder for intruders to push or pull the gate open manually. This is especially important for residential driveways, commercial properties, and rural entrances where additional gate security is required.

Electric locks also help protect against wind load pressure. Strong winds can place stress on swing gate motors and cause gates to move or flex while closed. A gate lock helps hold the gate firmly in position, reducing movement and minimising strain on the automation system.

Another advantage is improved gate alignment. Over time, heavy gates can shift slightly due to usage, weather conditions, or ground movement. An electric lock helps maintain proper alignment and assists the gate motors in closing securely every time.

For properties requiring reliable automatic gate security, an electric gate lock is a smart long-term investment.

Due to various mounting applications, no mounting hardware is provided with the electric gate lock.
All necessary mounting hardware can be obtained from your local hardware store, all other hardware is provided.

NOTE: The electric gate lock can be installed on single or double gates, running solar or electric.

Disconnect the gate opener by removing the actuator arm of the gate. Doing this will allow the gate to swing freely during the installation of the gate lock.

1. With the gate in the closed position, determine the best location for the lock and the lock receiver. The lock and receiver must also be level and aligned with the gate opener. Also, the lock should have a solid surface or cross member to provide stability.
2. Clamp the receiver and lock together (with receiver pin hole and lock slot aligned) to the gate, mark their positions to drill receiver bolts. The receiver must be mounted with appropriate bolts (dependent on your post or dual gate setup), not U-Bolts, to allow the lock to sit properly.
3. Recheck the locks position and alignment, then mark its position for drilling holes. Drill the hole gate supports through the slots in the lock bracket. U-bolts and saddles can be used to mount on chain link gate supports. Secure the lock to the gate. Install lock pin through the slots in the receiver, after that place washer over the pin at the bottom and then secure split pin in place.

Not all automatic gates require an electric lock, however electric gate locks are highly recommended for swing gates exposed to strong wind pressure, heavy usage, or where additional security is required. A lock helps secure the gate in the closed position and reduces stress on the gate motors.

An electric gate lock secures an automatic gate when closed, helping prevent forced opening, unwanted movement, and gate misalignment. It works together with the gate automation system to improve both security and reliability.

Yes, this electric gate lock is designed for automatic swing gate systems and is suitable for residential, commercial, and rural driveway gates.

Yes. An electric gate lock provides an extra layer of protection by helping prevent intruders from manually pushing or pulling the gate open. This makes automatic gates more secure when closed.

Yes. Electric gate locks are commonly used in high wind areas to help stabilise the gate and reduce movement caused by wind pressure. This can help protect gate motors from unnecessary strain.

In many cases, yes. Electric gate locks are commonly compatible with solar gate automation systems provided the correct voltage and wiring requirements are met.

Yes. Electric locks help hold the gates firmly in position when closed, assisting with long-term gate alignment and smoother operation.

Yes, the lock is designed for outdoor gate automation applications and is built to withstand typical Australian weather conditions.
