Best Fence Gate Lock Service San Antonio, TX

Fence Gate Locks San Antonio 

Finding the right equipment for your gate is an essential part of achieving the level of safety and protection you need at home. On the one hand, it stops intruders from walking about your premises. On the other hand, it stops your loved ones–including pets, if you have them–from wandering into the unknown, it’s a dangerous world out there.

Of course, a key part of the fence gate system is the lock. Without it, the fence gate can just be pushed open, which brings you back to square one security-wise. Therefore, you need a gate lock that can measure up to what you expect from your fence.

Locks don’t need to be complicated mechanisms. There is a wide variety of gate locks that range from simple bolts, latches, hooks and fence brackets to advanced security locks with a keypad mechanism. It all depends on the reason why you want the fence gate lock. For example, pool safety locks are designed so that the opening mechanism is high up–even higher than the fence gate height if necessary–this puts the lock just unreachable for the young ones to prevent them from going into the pool area without the supervision of an adult or a responsible person.

If you are not sure what options you have or what you need exactly, at Locksmiths San Antonio, our trained technicians are willing to share their expertise with you to find what you need.

You can easily avoid that by installing a drop-bolt with a lock pad.

Chain Link Fence Gate Lock

While most of the people who choose a wooden fence do it because of how it looks, many of those who choose chain link fences have practicality in mind. However, that doesn’t change the fact the fence gate lock can become the weakest link in your property’s security plan if you don’t make the right decision.

An important part of the locking system is the latch. These can basically be operated by gravity–as in the case of a thumb latch–or by a spring mechanism. These are simple pieces but sturdy and tough, made to last and to withstand gate-slamming.

What types of Chain link fence gate locks and latches are available?

• Butterfly latch
• Flat spring latch
• Fork latch–manual
• Fork latch–semi-automatic

To name just a few. Why not check out our full selection today? If you are not convinced that just a latch will be enough for your property, you can always increase the security of all those latching mechanisms by adding a keyed lock or even one operated with a keypad. On the other hand, if you don’t need your gate to be locked automatically, maybe all you really need, then, is a good padlock. Getting an extra lock is smart, as latches are pretty elementary, and it wouldn’t take much to break in if someone wanted to. We can also give you advice regarding which padlock would suit your needs more fully. Be sure to consult our services when you need to fit your first or next lock.
