The final stage of the installation of the fence and solving the safety of own dwellings is to install the lock, stop or other locking devices per gate. In the market of accessories for the gate there is a large range of diverse products, which is directly related to ensuring security as family members and property.

Varieties of locking devices

To be confident in the full safety of the area being closed, you should choose the appropriate version of the locking device. A strong and reliable castle for the gate will not be difficult in a specialized store. You can also use two independent locking points, which will significantly increase the strength of the entire structure.

The padlock

Installation of adaptations of the mounted type requires the welding of special loops to the outer part of the gate. Hinged lock on the gate has a number of advantages:

• functionality;
• sufficient reliability;
• easy to operate;
• good degree of malice.

There are only a disadvantage - an external installation method. The attackers using the mount will be able to knock down the castle. Therefore, it is difficult to talk about 100% protection.

Magnetic castles

The design of comfortable and reliable magnetic locks does not have moving parts. It consists of a device from the plane anchor, which is installed in the leaf of the gate, and the electromagnet mounted on the box. After applying the magnetic key to the reader, the fence opens. The main advantages of magnetic locks:

1. reliability;
2. long service life;
3. simplicity in montage;
4. not affected by the aggressive environment.

The only drawback is the lock does not work when the power is turned off. Therefore, you should additionally install an uninterruptible power supply or a mechanical locking device.

Curvage and overhead locking mechanisms

The mortise lock is installed in the groove inside the sash of the gate, drunk with a grinder and fix the high-quality end plate with a thickness of at least 2.5 mm. To exclude the possibility of damage to the device, the plate must be fixed as hard as possible to the housing itself. The rigle lock for the gate is quite reliably locked the design. The advantages of the mortise mechanism:

• convenient to operate;
• aesthetic and less noticeable;
• the riel design is not extended, but turns.

The lack of a mortise castle for a sliding gate is a complex installation.

The design of some mechanisms allows you to additionally connect an electric drive unlocking device. For example, in the case of power disconnection using the gate tool, you can translate to manual control.

Overhead locks are installed from the inside of the gate, the hole is pre-drilled for fasteners. The most reliable variety of devices that are opened only by the key from the inside are most reliable. Casov in such locking systems performs an essential role. When closing the lock, it comes out of the box of the case of the mechanism, and when unscrupted - hides inside. Several cylindrical rods of design forming, provide more reliable protection. Impact load at the time of mechanical impact on the lock for the swollen gate is distributed throughout the body, which prevents a quick hacking device. Advantages of overhead locks:

• ease of installation;
• do not reduce the strength of the gate.

The disadvantages include deterioration of the appearance and aesthetics of the door of the gate.

Code locks

The keys for code locking devices are not required. To open the gate, you just need to dial the code. To unlock the lock outside - click on the button or turn the lever. Unique advantages of code mechanisms:

• located locking system is hidden;
• rapid change of the code;
• absence of a key;
• ease of unlocking the gate, and after closing - automatic lock.

Features code designs that can be attributed to the shortcomings:

• code can peep at his set;
• low durability performance;
• secret combination can be to forget;
• responding to higher humidity and temperature differences;
• perceived to the quality of the power supply.

Installing the castle on the gate with your own hands

Materials and tools

To mount the lock, you will need tools and materials:
• Bulgarian;
• set of drills;
• Screwdriver and drill.
In a set of components of the locking device, a connecting square, a retast plan, core, tie bolts and a set of keys should be included. When buying, check the presence of constituents.

Installation technology lock on the gate

1. Place the location of the castle, fasteners and bolts. To do this, we apply the design to the goal at a distance of more than 1 m from the earth's surface, the felt-tip pen outlines the boundaries of the locking device, the holes for the core of the lock.
2. Drill the core hole drill. It is important to pick up the correct nozzles for drilling so that the hole is not large.
3. With the help of a grinder, cut out the deepening in the gate frame. It must match the depth of the mechanism.
4. In the prepared place insert a locking device. Fix it with the help of the screwdriver with screws.
5. To secure the bar, put markings on the gate box.
6. Bulgarian make a deepening in a box under the groove for fasteners and riglels. Install the locking system and check the correctness of the attachment.
7. From the outer part of the metal sheet to make a turnkey well, which exactly corresponds to the profile of the shut-off system, and cut.

Under the action of an aggressive environment, the quality of the mechanism will decrease. Therefore, you should choose a castle that will not be afraid of dampness and dust. Additionally, you can use the steel corner to strengthen the response. But the locking points of the lock from the outside must be as remote from the front plane of the gate.
