Gate drop ground latch

A gate drop ground latch, also known as a cane bolt or drop rod, is a mechanism used to secure a gate in the open or closed position by inserting a rod into the ground.
It’s typically used for double gates to keep one side stationary while the other is latched. It helps prevent gates from moving in the wind and adds extra security. 

Here’s a more detailed explanation:
How it works:
  • A metal rod (the drop rod or cane bolt) is attached to the gate and slides through brackets or guides. 
  • When the gate is in the desired position (open or closed), the rod is lowered into a hole or receiver in the ground, securing the gate. 
  • To open the gate, the rod is lifted out of the ground and turned out of the way. 
Key features and benefits:
  • Secures gates: Prevents gates from swinging open or closed due to wind or other factors. 
  • Versatile: Can be used on various gate types, including wood, metal, and vinyl. 
  • Double gate support: Especially useful for securing one side of a double gate while the other is latched. 
  • Added security: Can be used in conjunction with other latches for increased security. 
  • Easy installation: Generally involves mounting brackets and drilling a hole for the rod. 
  • Durable: Made of materials like steel, often with a powder coat finish for weather resistance.

Description

Gate drop ground latch

Gate drop ground latches are used to lock a sliding or swinging gate into position by dropping a metal rod into a hole in the ground.

This is much easier to install on a large gate than a regular locking handle would be because you can create a larger hole to address alignment issues.

If you are installing a double-swinging pedestrian gate, you will need to install a cane bolt on one leaf of the gate so that it can be locked into position for the other leaf to latch against.

We carry options with both weld-on and bolt-on options. In the ground, you will simply need a hole; you can line this with steel tubing or buy a ground stop from Locinox.

We have options that accept padlocks or keyed locks as well for added security.

Door Strike Lock

Door Strike Lock

An electric strike is an electromechanical lock release device that replaces a standard door strike plate.
It allows a door to be opened remotely, typically via an access control system, without manually retracting the latch. When activated, the electric strike releases the latch, enabling the door to be opened. 
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Functionality:
  • Replaces Standard Strike:
    Electric strikes are installed in the door frame, taking the place of the standard strike plate. 
  • Remote Release:
    They are designed to work with various access control systems, such as keypads, card readers, or intercoms. 
  • Activation:
    When an authorized signal is received (e.g., a code is entered, a card is swiped), the electric strike releases the latch, allowing the door to be opened. 
  • Fail-Safe or Fail-Secure:
    Electric strikes can be configured in either a fail-safe or fail-secure mode. 
    • Fail-safe: In this mode, the door unlocks when power is lost, making it suitable for safety applications where access is needed during power outages. 
    • Fail-secure: In this mode, the door remains locked when power is lost, requiring power to unlock, making it suitable for high-security applications. 
How it Works:
  • The electric strike contains a solenoid, which is an electromagnet.
  • When the solenoid is activated by an electrical signal, it moves a component (like an armature) that allows the latch to move freely.
  • This movement releases the door, allowing it to be opened. 
Key Differences from Other Locks:
  • Electric vs. Magnetic Locks:
    Unlike magnetic locks, which use powerful magnets to hold the door closed, electric strikes release the latch mechanism. 
  • Remote Access:
    Electric strikes offer remote access control, allowing doors to be unlocked without manual intervention. 
  • Versatility:
    They can be used with various locking mechanisms, including cylindrical, mortise, and rim exit devices. 
Common Applications:
  • Access Control:
    Electric strikes are a core component of access control systems in commercial and residential settings. 
  • Security:
    They provide a higher level of security compared to standard locks, especially when used with fail-secure configurations. 
  • Safety:
    In fail-safe configurations, they ensure safe egress during emergencies. 
  • Specific Areas:
    They are commonly found in reception areas, daycare centers, and other locations where controlled access is needed.

Support Roller

Support Roller for sliding gates are essential components that ensure smooth, stable, and reliable gate operation.
They guide the gate along its track, preventing it from tipping or falling off and ensuring it opens and closes with minimal friction and noise.
Function:
  • Guidance:
    Support rollers are typically mounted on the gate posts and guide the gate along its track as it opens and closes. 
  • Stability:
    They keep the gate upright and prevent it from swaying or falling out of alignment, especially in windy conditions or with heavier gates. 
  • Smooth Operation:
    By minimizing friction, they allow the gate to slide easily and quietly, enhancing the user experience. 
  • Durability:
    They are designed to withstand the wear and tear of regular use and exposure to the elements. 
Types:
  • Nylon Rollers: Often used due to their durability, smooth operation, and resistance to corrosion. 
  • Rubber Rollers: While cheaper, they may leave marks on the gate and wear out faster. 
  • V-Groove Wheels: Suitable for specific track types and known for their longevity. 
Installation:
  • Positioning: Support rollers are typically installed on the gate posts, positioned to guide the gate along its track. 
  • Spacing: A gap of 5-10mm is usually recommended between rollers to allow for some movement and prevent them from doing all the work, especially if the gate is not perfectly balanced. 
  • Fixation: They are usually secured with bolts or by welding them to the post. 
Maintenance:
  • Lubrication:
    Applying a silicone-based lubricant to the support rollers and other moving parts can help maintain smooth operation and reduce noise.
  • Regular Inspection:
    Inspecting rollers for wear and tear or damage is recommended to ensure continued reliable performance.

Sliding gate V-Groove wheels - SLGWSD410IB

*Heavy-duty *Steel material *Double bearing *Interior Bracket *Max 410 Kg *98 mm Diameter x 33 mm Width
A sliding gate V-groove wheel is a type of wheel designed to roll along a V-shaped track, providing support and guidance for sliding gates, particularly those made of metal.
The V-groove in the wheel precisely matches the track, ensuring smooth, stable, and quiet operation. These wheels are often used in industrial and heavy-duty applications due to their ability to handle significant weight and resist wear. 
Here's a more detailed explanation:
  • V-Groove Design:
    The defining feature of these wheels is the V-shaped groove on their circumference. This groove fits snugly onto a corresponding V-shaped track, which can be made of angle iron or other suitable materials. 
  • Track System:
    The track is typically installed along the path where the gate will slide, providing a stable and guided surface for the wheels to roll on. 
  • Benefits:
    V-groove wheels offer several advantages, including:
    • Smooth Operation: The close fit between the wheel and track minimizes friction and vibration, resulting in smooth gate movement. 
    • Stability: The V-groove design provides excellent stability, preventing the gate from wobbling or derailing. 
    • Durability: Many V-groove wheels are made from durable materials like steel or nylon, offering good wear resistance and longevity. 
    • Load Capacity: They can handle substantial weight, making them suitable for heavy gates. 
  • Applications:
    V-groove wheels are commonly used in:
    • Industrial Gates: Supporting heavy doors in factories and warehouses. 
    • Heavy-Duty Sliding Gates: For residential and commercial properties. 
    • Automated Gates: Used in conjunction with gate operators. 
    • Other Sliding Applications: They can also be found in other applications like sliding machinery or even pet gates. 
  • Materials:
    V-groove wheels can be made from various materials, including:
    • Steel: Offers high strength and load capacity. 
    • Nylon: Provides good wear resistance and reduced noise. 
    • Polyurethane: Offers a good balance of durability and quiet operation. 
  • Installation:
    The wheels are typically mounted to the bottom of the gate, allowing them to roll along the track.
