Gatemaster | Weld-in latch deadlock with handle
The weld-in latch deadlock has a latch and a deadlock on a single bolt. The handles operate the latch, and the key can then be turned to extend the deadbolt 1-3/16" into the gate post to secure the gate. This weld-in lock can be galvanized or powder coated with the rest of the gate. Just remove the internal lock mechanism and weld the case in place before painting or powder coating.
Key features
- Secure - Stainless steel latchbolt that springs 1/2" into the gate post and then extends to 1-3/16" when you turn the key and deadlock the lock
- Adjustable - Latchbolt is adjustable in length for precise fitting on site and can be rotated for left or right handed gates
- Strong - Welding the lock into the gate is the most secure method of fixing a lock into a gate

Maintenance
Every 6 months, lubricate the latchbolt with light oil. Once a year, dismantle the lock and spray the mechanism with light oil to get the longest life out of the product.

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 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.
Which version fits my gate frame?
Measure the depth of the gate frame, the box section or flat bar the lock is welded into. Versions are made for 1-3/16", 1-9/16", 1-15/16" and 2-3/8" frames. Pick the version that matches your frame; a lock made for a deeper frame will not sit flush on a shallow one. The product codes are SWLD1630, SWLD1640, SWLD1650 and SWLD1660.
Do I have to weld this in before galvanising or painting?
Yes, and that is the point of a weld-in lock: the case becomes part of the gate, so there is no visible fixing to attack. Weld the case into the frame first, then galvanise or paint the gate as a whole, and only fit the lock internals and the cylinder once the finish is dry.
