Concise Home50mm Double Long Throw Gate Lock 5 Keys Garden Locking Both Sides

After trying several options for our backyard porch door I am extremely pleased with this double sided lock. It is heavy, of good quality, slides well and leaves a natural sense of security. For us the best feature is that it can lock from both sides.The lock is of Chinese manufacture in and comes in a plain cardboard box, pre-supplied with its required solid screws and a backside brass cover plate. Importantly the lock comes with a set of 5 keys, so that there is a spare one for most family members.The lock requires some skill and tools to install. Most importantly, unless you are replacing and exciting hole-lock, you’ll need an appropriate sized hole drill (26 mm) and a strong drill. But also a plain slotted screw driver. And a smaller Philips tipped screwdriver for the cover plate.I already bought a hole drill set on Amazon a few years ago and this now came in very handy.It took me less than half an hour to put the lock in place. The hardest part and most-time consuming part is taking measures for the lock hole and making sure the bar slides in to its U-shaped buckle with ease. Especially for the lock hole and drill holes it would have been helpful if a paper ‘pattern mask’ with the correct measures was included so that you could draw the pattern on your door before drilling - given that the lock cylinder sticks out at both sides of the lock, you can’t easily place it on the door and make drill marks. I’m a bit worried that over time the buckle may not fit the bar that well as the porch door or fence might start to move a few mm’s due to weather, wear and rain. So it would have been better if the buckle didn’t fit it as tightly as it does right now - there is only 1 mm of space around it. And would have preferred it if a wider alternative buckle was included. But would this problem occur over time, I think I can address it with not too many complications.Aside from that, the only other very small downsides are the large screws; i.) the slots on the screw heads are irregular, leaving a slightly less than perfect impression when all in place, and ii.) after just one rain shower they showed some rust.But given the price, the overall quality and appearance of the lock I would still hand it five stars. It’s simply a very sturdy nicely made lock.

Easy to fit and works well

I had previously written a bad review because the lock arrived without any keys. I had a surprise when a new lock was delivered complete with 5 keys. I fitted the lock straight away and apart from some technical issues that were purely to do with my gate, not the lock, I have to say I am impressed. It is simple to install (given the right tools and a gate that is in line) and it is nice and sturdy. I don't need the lock for high security but is perfect for the garden gate and makes accessing the garden alot easier without needing to remember to unbolt the gate every time. My only suggestion would be to make the barrel so that it could be moved on installation to enable both sides could be flush with gate but overall this is a small change that doesn't affect the use of the lock.

This is the third lock I have bought for 3 gates. I'm very happy with the locks but not so sure about the bolts supplied.I use coach bolts through the gate as I feel they are a stronger option. No complaints about the lock it's self.Just keep it well lubricated.Easy to fit, the key on each side means we can use it on entry/exit gates to our property.

We've got a few of these over the last 7 years. Always found they work really well but are vulnerable to rust over the years. Seems the average life span is about 3 years. Good for the money and fine for garden gates

Robust. Fitted easily with DIY tools. I added two or 3 security screws to make it difficult to remove unlawfully.

Brought this on behalf of my sister. She is very happy with the lock. It works well.

The media could not be loaded. HiBought this lock and it isn't working correctly. I have attached a video. Can you advise on what I need to do next. Thank you Mary
