The Lokk-Bolt has two detent grooves, both of which

are for either retaining or locking the rod in place. The

lower groove holds the Lokk-Bolt off the ground and the

upper groove locks the rod into place for security.

Hole depth recommended to be

minimum of 1.1/4” (30mm)

LokkBolt is supplied and configured to suit a right-hand

gate when viewed from inside (house side).

Important: In order to re-configure LokkBolt for left-hand

gates, please read the instructions overleaf entitled

ʻRe-configuring the Lokk-Bolt for Left-Hand Gatesʼ.
Tools required: Electric drill,

” (4mm) drill-bit (for pilot

holes in thick steel), Phillips No. 2 screwdriver (hand &

powered types), level, pencil.

1. Ensure all gates are level to the finished ground

surface. The Lock Housing (see right) on the LokkBolt

should be key-locked into the upper “detent” groove*.

Locate the Lokk-Bolt on the inside of the gate (house

side), positioning it so the bottom of the bolt rests on

the ground surface (concrete, tiles, stone etc). The

Lokk-Bolt must be held or clamped so that the two

mounting brackets sit firmly against the gate frame.
2. Mark a circle on the ground surface around the

bottom of the stainless steel rod. Drill this hole

” (16–19mm) to a suitable depth. (The hole will

need to be larger if a pipe is to be inserted.)
3. Locate the LokkBolt back onto the gate, with

the rod inserted into the hole to the required

depth. The position of the Lower Bracket is

important; it should be as low as possible, but

no further from the Lock Housing than the

maximum measurements shown in Diagram B

overleaf. Use a pencil to mark inside the slots

of both brackets for the mounting screws, using

the brackets as the templates. Remove the

LokkBolt.
4. The LokkBolt is supplied with self-drilling

screws; use these for fixing the product to the

gate. If fixing to thick-sectioned steel gates,

drill

” (4mm) pilot holes through the

center of the marked slots. For wooden gates,

consult your local hardware expert to obtain

appropriate wood screws.
5. Insert the four Dress Caps supplied into the screw slots.

The Lokk-Bolt is now ready for use.
