- Rubber keypad gasket
- Code changing pack
- Drilling guide
Installation
- 1Drill two 3/8" diameter holes at 5-1/8" centers in a vertical line (suggested position 2-1/4" from the edge of the gate)
- 2Drill a third hole, 1/2" in diameter, 47/64" above the bottom hole
- 3Fix the rubber gasket and outside keypad with the two M5 countersunk screws, placing the black domed washer under the top screw. The silver extension screws can be used for thicker gates, or the screws may need to be cut down for thinner ones. (Please note: for gates more than 3" thick you will need to order the extension kit, product code SLDSE140)
- 4Insert a rectangular spindle through the gate and fully into the keypad. The spindle should project between 3/8" and 19/32" from the inside face of the gate. The spindle can be cut if the supplied lengths do not fall within these tolerances
- 5Assemble the Superlatch backing plate, latch plate and shroud. The backing plate is reversible for left- and right-hand gates; make sure the latch travels vertically upwards and drops back down. A spring is supplied and we recommend fitting it so the latch always returns.
- 6Fit the lock assembly over the spindle and fix it with 4 screws.
- 7Fix the keep plate to the gate post so that it engages with the latch.

Frequently asked questions
Will it survive outdoors all year?
It is built for it. The bodies are pressure die-cast and powder-coated, latchbolts are stainless steel and the keypads are marine grade, so salt air and rain are not a problem. Follow the maintenance schedule on this page - a spray of light oil a few times a year is what keeps a gate lock feeling new after a decade outside.
What warranty comes with this product?
Gatemaster gives a 5-year warranty on the Superlock 2.0 range and a manufacturer's warranty on the rest of the program, covering defects in material and workmanship. Keep your invoice: that is the proof of purchase a claim is assessed on. Damage from forcing, from the wrong installation or from missed maintenance is not covered - which is why the maintenance schedule on this page is worth following.
Is this in stock and how fast can I get it?
Gatemaster hardware is part of our standard program, so the common versions ship from stock. If you need a quantity for a project, or you are not sure which version fits your gate, ask us for a quote - we will check the frame size and handing with you before anything is picked.
How fast can I change the code on a RapidReset model?
In about ten seconds, without taking the lock off the gate and without tools. That matters where the code has to change often - a building site, a holiday let, a shared bin store or after a contractor leaves. The mechanism stays mechanical, so there is still nothing to power or charge.
Does this code lock need power or batteries?
No. The keypad is fully mechanical, so there is no wiring, no batteries and nothing to replace. That is what makes it suitable for gates at the far end of a site, allotments, bin stores and anywhere a cable run would be impractical - and it keeps working in a power cut.
How do I know whether I need a left-hand or a right-hand lock?
Stand on the outside of the gate - the side you approach from. If the hinges are on your left, you need a left-hand lock; if they are on your right, a right-hand lock. Gatemaster locks in this range are reversible: you loosen the locking screw in the end of the latchbolt with the 0.118" hex key supplied, turn the bolt through 180 degrees and tighten it again.
Will this work on a wooden gate?
Yes - this is a surface-mounted model designed for timber. It bolts through the face of the gate rather than into a metal frame, and the fixings allow for the swelling and shrinking that timber goes through between seasons. As standard the fixings suit gates up to 2-15/16" thick; above that you need the extension kit.
