FAQ's for Wooden Gate Locks
What is the best lock for wooden gates?
For wooden gates, we recommend surface-fixed or surface-mounted locks. These are designed to stay secure even as the wood naturally expands and contracts with changing weather.
What is the difference between a bolt-on and a surface-mounted gate lock?
Bolt-on gate locks are installed through the gate frame and are typically used for metal gates while surface-mounted locks are fixed flat on the face of the gate which is typically used for wooden gates. If you are looking to fit a lock for your wooden gate the best option will be to go for a surface-mounted gate lock. Additionally, our gate locks for metal gates can be found here.
