4. INSTALLATION
A typical vehicle gate lock installation is described. The lock is being mounted to the fence post while the strike will
be mounted to the gate on the left of the lock. Coach bolts would be used to secure the lock and strike.
4.1 Mark the lock position
Locate the lock in the desired position and
using a pen / pencil mark the three mounting
hole locations through the lock base.
4.2 Drill the lock mounting holes
Use a M8 drill bit to drill the three mounting
holes in the fence post.
Check on the preferred
wiring method and if running
the wires through the base
is desired, also mark and
drill the wire hole now.
See section 5 - Wiring.
4.3 Secure the lock in position
Push the bolts through the fence post and
position the lock over the protruding bolt ends.
Place nuts on the three bolts and tighten
them to secure the lock to the post.
4.4 Mark the strikes position
Locate the strike in the correct position and
using a pen / pencil mark the three mounting
hole locations through the strike.
