Gate Keep

When a gate closes, the latch or bolt of the lock has to land in something solid on the post. That is the keep. A good keep holds the gate in line, takes the force when someone pushes or pulls on the gate and, on a security keep, stops the gate being levered away from the post. Many gate locks are sold without a keep, so check the product page of the lock and order the keep with it.

Locinox keeps are named for the locks they fit:

• SFKP insert keep in polyamide, SFKI insert keep in stainless steel and SFKM surface mounted keep in stainless steel, for Fortylock, Fiftylock and Sixtylock insert locks, plus a surface mounted keep strike for the same locks.
• Insert keeps for insert locks, and an insert keep for insert locks with a code lock.
• A stainless steel surface mounted keep for surface mounted locks, and a flat ornamental keep.
• The H-Compact keep in stainless steel for the handleless H-Compact lock.

Gatemaster keeps work across the Superlock range: the Superlock Secure Keep fixes to the post with expanding fasteners, and the Superlock Gapless Keep fits between the gate and the post as both a gate stop and a strike for any Gatemaster latch lock.

• The Locinox garden gate keep in polyamide is made for round profiles.
• The H-Wood hybrid keep is made for wooden posts.
• The Twist40 swimming pool keep fits square profiles and goes with the Twist40 pool gate lock.
• The Gatemaster Superlock Round Bar Adapter, in stainless steel, fits a Superlock and its keep to round bar gates and round posts, such as chain link gates.

A sliding gate lock closes sideways into its keep. The Locinox SSKZ sliding gate keep with Quick-Fix goes with the Sixtylock-LS insert lock for sliding gates.

• The Gatemaster security keep with interlocking tab has a tongue that passes through the gate bracket, so the gate cannot be levered away from the post.
• Quick exit security shrouds for Superlock and SelectPro stop intruders reaching round the gate to work a quick exit lock from outside. The SelectPro shroud bolts on in front of the lock with no welding and no extra holes.
• The Superlock Delta handle security shroud protects the inside lever handle against tampering from outside.

• Locinox electric strikes: Modulec SE for surface mounted locks, and SEH for H-Metal and H-Wood insert locks.
• The Gatemaster ERHDM electric release is mortised into the gate frame, has an integral switch that confirms the gate is closed, and converts between fail safe and fail secure.
• The Gatemaster gate maglock system is a kit with a stainless steel maglock holding 1,202 lb, a status switch and pull handles, worked by a separate keypad, switch or proximity fob.

The Gatemaster bump stop is a noise damper that screws into the gate stop, and the gate silencer kit bolts to the post so the gate closes quietly. The isolating spacer set puts rubber plates between a Superlock and an aluminum gate. The Superlock fixing kit suits gate frames from 1-9/16" to 2-3/8", the Superlatch extension kit fits the Digital Superlatch to gates up to 5-1/2" thick, and the DRA latchbolt, issue 5, is a genuine spare part.

Gate keeps are delivered to every US state and to Canada. Check the lock name or part number before you order, so the keep matches.
