Electric Lock – Mechanical Lock for Swing Gate

Secure Your Gate. Protect Your Motor.

This mechanical electric lock is designed specifically for swing gates, especially single gates with leaves over 2 metres long. It provides a strong, physical locking point between the gate and the post (or opposing gate leaf), preventing forced movement from wind or unwanted entry attempts.

Without a proper lock, long gates act like levers.  Wind pressure or someone leaning or pushing on the gate can place excessive strain on the motor and mounting brackets.  Over time, this will lead to damage and in many cases, void your gate motor warranty.

Unlike magnetic locks, which rely on holding force alone and continuous power supply, this mechanical lock uses a solid steel latch to physically secure the gate in place.  It stays locked until released by the gate automation system, ensuring your gate only opens when you want it to.

Key Benefits:

  • Stronger and safer than magnetic locks – holds firm even under high wind or pressure

  • Prevents strain on motors and brackets – reduces risk of long-term damage

  • Weatherproof and reliable – built for outdoor gate systems

  • Warranty protection – helps maintain compliance for gates over 2m wide

  • Easy to integrate – works with most automated swing gate systems

This Mechanical Electric Lock is a must have for residential or commercial gates in exposed or high wind locations and for anyone wanting extra protection against gate tampering or forced entry.

For gates over 2 metres, a mechanical lock isn’t optional, it’s essential.

Add peace of mind and system protection with this robust mechanical electric lock.

Easy to install with both the Nice and Life Swing gate set ups having terminals already set and ready to wire in to.
