INSTALLATION NOTES & PROCEDURE
• This latch is designed, ideally, to be fitted to the inside (i.e. house or
tennis court side) of the gate. If installing to the outside (i.e. street side) of
the gate ensure there is hand access to operate the latch...or, if this pack
contains an "EXTERNAL ACCESS KIT", ensure it is fixed to this latch
before installing the entire latch onto the gate (see over for details).
• For 2

This latch kit includes special adapter shims for fitting the latch to posts and gate frames
of varying diameters (see S1, S2 & S3). The adapters have the diameter they are designed
for molded into them. If required, place two identical adapters (S1 or S2)
into their corresponding positions on the inside the Round Post Bracket
facing the Fence Post.
1. Determine the desired height of the latch on the gate. Hold the latch in place on
the post and close the gate.
2. Position the Striker Body "C" on the gate frame by engaging the striker bolt
into the latching tongue. (Check whether the adaptor shim 'S
applied to fit your gate frame.) When all latch components are aligned correctly,
use the pencil to mark inside the four fixing slots of the Striker Body "C".
3. Place all latch components aside and drill a pilot hole in the center of the
marked slots using a
11
/
" (4.5mm) drill-bit. Remember that centering the
64
screws inside the slots allows future adjustment for gate sag.
4. Secure the Striker Body "C" firmly onto the gate frame using four of the large
hex-head Tek screws supplied.
5. Open the gate. Place the Latch Assembly back onto the latch post and then close
the gate. Engage the Striker Bolt through the latch tongue again, aligning the main
Latch Body on the latch post so that the Striker Bolt will close in the center of the latch
tongue (the Rivet marks the center of the latching zone).
6. Hold the Latch Assembly in place and mark the post through the two main screw-
fixing holes at the side of the Round Post Bracket.
7. Remove the Latch Assembly and drill the pilot holes where marked.
8. Secure the Latch Assembly using the two remaining hex-head Tek screws supplied.
9. Check latch operation to ensure smooth, reliable latching. Your LOKK•LATCH is now
ready for use.
NB: If this pack does not have an "External Access Kit", you can purchase one from your
supplier.

STEP #2 — EXTERNAL ACCESS KIT
The External Access Kit (EAK) allows a gate to be
opened and locked from the opposite side to the latch.
The EAK is connected to the Latch Body by a Push Rod.
NOTE: The Push Button comes pre-assembled
