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

$69.95

Ship or pick up from our office.

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.

Ship or pick up from our office.

Gate drop ground latch

A gate drop ground latch, also known as a cane bolt or drop rod, is a hardware mechanism used to secure a gate in either the open or closed position by inserting a rod into the ground.
It's commonly used for single or double gates, including wooden fences, metal gates, and even barn doors, to provide extra stability and prevent unwanted movement. 
Here's a more detailed explanation:
How it works:
  • The latch typically consists of a rod (the "drop rod" or "cane bolt") and a bracket or receiver that is mounted on the gate. 
  • When the gate is in the desired position (open or closed), the rod is manually lowered through the bracket and into a hole or receiver in the ground. 
  • This creates a secure hold, preventing the gate from swinging or being moved by wind or other forces. 
  • Some designs include a bracket or keeper to hold the rod in the raised (open) position when not in use. 
Common uses:
  • Securing single or double gates: The drop ground latch can be used on both types of gates to keep them firmly in place.
  • Providing stability in windy conditions: It helps prevent gates from being blown open or closed by the wind.
  • Securing gates in the open position: It can be used to hold a gate open, preventing it from accidentally closing.
  • Reinforcing gate security: It adds an extra layer of security, making it more difficult to force the gate open.
  • Suitable for various materials: Can be used with wood, metal, and other gate materials. 
Benefits:
  • Enhanced security: Prevents gates from being moved by wind or other forces.
  • Increased stability: Helps keep gates aligned and prevents sagging.
  • Versatile application: Can be used on a variety of gates and in different environments.
  • Easy to operate: Simple manual operation to engage and disengage the latch.
  • Relatively easy to install: Usually requires drilling holes for mounting the brackets.
