Gate Mate Shed Lock – A Cracking Bit of Kit!I must say, I'm thoroughly impressed. From the moment it arrived, it was clear this product was a cut above the rest.Firstly, the packaging was rather smart, giving a really good impression of the quality within. And speaking of quality, the lock itself is exceptionally well-built. It feels incredibly solid and robust in your hand – a proper, sturdy piece of engineering that instils confidence it'll do the job and last for ages.What's more, it arrived remarkably quickly. The delivery was genuinely swift, which is always a bonus, isn't it? It's great when a product not only lives up to expectations in terms of its build, but also arrives without any fuss or delay.All things considered, the Gate Mate Shed Lock is an absolutely excellent product that I wouldn't hesitate to recommend. It combines superb construction with smart presentation and efficient delivery, making it a genuinely satisfying purchase.

Why did you choose this product over others?:Fitted to a double door shed, one on each door, very tidy appearance on the outside of the doors, convenient thumb turn to lock doors from the inside. Straightforward to fit and secures the doors nicely.

A touch expensive but solid and I suppose I did get what I paid for. Really good for outside well made gates my customer loves it makes her feel safe. Which is important. Great bit of kit

I have to start by saying that this is a very sturdy lock. It is easy to fit, and is supplied with a self adhesive template to stick to the gate/door to indicate where all the holes need to be drilled. It comes with both the spade bit, a hss drill bit and the screw head bit that are required so no hunting around for the correct tools. I fitted it in about 20 minutes with a cordless drill. The lock opens smoothly and easily once installed. The only thing I could criticise is that the bolt can be moved without turning the key or the thumb turn knob. My concern is that if the door rattles in the wind the bolt will vibrate itself open. Would have thought that this could have been mitigated at the design stage by having to push in the key or the thumb turn knob to engage the cog otherwise the bolt is locked. Will need to see what happens in the winter.

These are great products and this was purchased for a new gate - easy choice to make as the ones we have already are very good quality and were easy to fit. Expensive, but good value for the money.

The product looks well built and looks to be well finished and that's all.The key operates the euro profile cylinder on the front of the gate as expected. However, it is possible to to just simply reach over the gate and open the lock by sliding the bolt freely and easily to open the lock mechanism. Basically the locking bolt is not deadlocked in position with the key. In my opinion, by definition this renders the "lock" useless and really a lock at all. It is merely a bolt operated by a key that gives no more protection than a latch bolt fitted on a gate. Would be thieves can reach over a gate and open both in the same way.After challenging the UK supplier direct they say that this is how the lock is designed to work? Unbelievable really.Don't waste your money. Get a cheap latch bolt instead because this offers the same level of security.

Great product easy to install

This has been in use for a while and only needing some WD40 during the winter. A great lock, solid construction and would definitely recommend it.
