Adsibob Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 (edited) Looking at having a steel gate made up for our side passage. Ideally, I would like a good quality combination lock fitted to it, but this gives rise to two questions: 1) how is this opened from the other side? will it have a combination keypad on both sides? 2) If not, because it will be possible to put your hand through the gaps in the steel bars and access the back of the combination lock, will this just be a complete security fail, as anybody could open it from the other side. Any reason I can’t use this: https://metalines.com/gate-locks/601-601002-gatemaster-superlock-digital-double-sided-bdg.html?gclid=CjwKCAjw7eSZBhB8EiwA60kCWyPA1NQHRxcTdvvp8eZgWurr_viO4mL7sfRvJuZnjWY8RR3lhTxgBRoCpiQQAvD_BwE#/289-Frame_Size-40mm_-_60mm Edited October 2, 2022 by Adsibob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to check it's for outdoor use but it mentions use on gates. Only other thing I can think of is water freezing it up in winter but hopefully they have thoughf of that.

It would be handy to let delivery men in occasionally, and the remote access is perfect for that, but still, I’m occasionally suspicious of technology.

Hunt about for something cheaper, fir it and see how it goes. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/393241969134 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
