Pedestrian gate electric lock
*DC12 V A pedestrian gate electric lock is a device that uses electrical power to secure a walk-through gate, offering enhanced security and convenience compared to traditional manual locks. These locks are commonly used in residential, commercial, and community settings, often integrated with access control systems. Here's a breakdown of what they are and how they work: How they work:- Electronic Control: The locking mechanism is controlled electronically. This allows it to be locked and unlocked automatically, typically triggered by an access control system.
- Access Control Integration: They can be linked to various access control devices, such as:
- Keypads: Users enter a code to unlock the gate.
- Remote controls: Wireless remotes allow for convenient opening from a distance.
- Intercoms: Visitors can communicate with occupants, who can then grant access.
- Key fobs/Card readers: Users can simply tap or swipe a fob/card to unlock.
- Push buttons: For easy exit from the inside.
- Telephone entry systems: Allowing access via phone.
- Types of Electric Locks:
- Electromechanical Locks: These use an electric impulse to trigger a mechanical latch or bolt to engage or disengage. They are known for their strength and durability, suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
- Electromagnetic Locks (Maglocks): These consist of an electromagnet mounted on the gate frame and a strike plate on the gate itself. When power is applied, the electromagnet creates a strong magnetic force that holds the gate closed. To unlock, the power to the magnet is simply cut. They offer a high holding force and have no moving parts to wear out.
- Enhanced Security: They provide a higher level of security than manual locks, preventing forced entry and ensuring the gate remains closed, especially in high-wind conditions.
- Automatic Locking/Unlocking: Many models automatically lock when the gate closes and unlock when activated, eliminating the need for manual locking.
- Convenience: Remote operation, keypads, and other access control options make entry and exit much more convenient.
- Versatile Applications: Suitable for a variety of pedestrian gate types (wood, steel, vinyl, etc.) and environments, including driveways, pool areas, playgrounds, and commercial perimeters.
- Fail-Secure vs. Fail-Safe:
- Fail-Secure: The lock remains locked when power is lost. This is common for high-security applications where maintaining security during a power outage is crucial.
- Fail-Safe: The lock unlocks when power is lost. This is often used in safety applications where immediate access is needed during emergencies or power failures.
- Battery Backup: Many systems include a battery backup to ensure continued operation during power outages.
- Manual Override: Most electric locks come with a key for manual release, providing a backup in case of power failure or system malfunction.
- Integration: They can be easily integrated with existing gate openers, timers, and other smart home or security systems.

Pedestrian Gate Hinges
Pedestrian gate hinges are designed to allow a gate intended for pedestrian use to swing open and closed, connecting the gate to its post or frame.
These hinges are crucial for the smooth operation and secure closure of the gate, ensuring proper alignment and functionality. They can be surface-mounted, bolt-on, or weld-on, and may include features like spring-assist or adjustable tension for self-closing.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
Function:Pedestrian gate hinges primarily serve to join the gate to its supporting structure (post or frame) and allow for rotation.
-
Types:They can be surface-mounted, bolt-on, or weld-on, offering different installation methods.
-
Features:Some hinges incorporate self-closing mechanisms, like spring-assist or adjustable tension, which can be important for safety or convenience.
-
Materials:They are commonly made from steel, stainless steel, or polymer, ensuring durability and resistance to the elements.
-
Applications:Pedestrian gate hinges are suitable for various settings, including residential, HOA, and commercial properties, especially for side gates, walkways, and restricted access enclosures.
-
Considerations:When choosing hinges, factors like the gate's weight, size, and desired functionality (e.g., self-closing) should be taken into account.
