Case Study: ManCave Fabrications
ManCave Fabrications specialise in the design, fabrication, and installation of high-quality custom gates and fencing. Known for their attention to detail and modern designs, they work closely with customers to deliver gates that are both practical and visually striking.


Blending functionality and style
When creating new gates, ManCave Fabrications aim to strike the right balance between functionality and style. With growing demand for composite gate fencing, they needed gate hardware that would complement the clean, contemporary look of composite panels while still offering strength, durability, and straightforward installation.
To achieve this, ManCave Fabrications turned to the Gatemaster range of gate locks and hardware, looking for solutions that met their own installation requirements as well as their customers’ expectations for quality and longevity.



Meeting the needs of composite gates
Across a range of residential composite gate projects, ManCave Fabrications selected the Gatemaster Superlock Latch Deadlock (BLD). The lock’s bolt-on design allows it to be fitted to the metal gate frame by drilling just three holes, with only a simple cut-out required in the composite panel. This makes installation quick and efficient while maintaining a clean, flush finish that suits modern gate designs.
The result is a secure locking solution that integrates seamlessly with composite gates, without compromising on appearance.
“Gatemaster locks are straightforward to fit and give us the clean finish we need when working with composite gates. The Superlock Latch Deadlock installs quickly and looks right at home on modern designs, which makes it an easy choice for us.”
Gates built to last outdoors
ManCave Fabrications focus on creating gates that not only look good on installation day, but continue to perform reliably over time. With gates exposed to the elements year-round, durability and weather resistance are essential.
The Superlock range is designed for outdoor use, offering robust performance in harsh weather conditions. The gate lock range features a seamless one-piece casing which removes joints and welds increasing durability and maintain a clean finish. Additionally, the improved case design and materials provide the gate lock with longer-lasting protections against harsh weather and rust. Customers also benefit from added peace of mind, with the Superlock 2.0 range backed by a 5-year warranty, reinforcing confidence in the long-term reliability of the hardware.
By choosing Gatemaster, ManCave Fabrications are able to deliver gates that combine strong design, efficient installation, and dependable security, helping them meet customer expectations on every project.
