GateMate Long Throw Gate Lock 1490096, Euro Profile Keyed Both Sides Gate Lock for Sheds, Gates & Garage Doors, 316 Stainless Steel, for Wooden Gates & Doors Up to 2 ¾” Thick (70mm), Black, 5 Keys

This is a brilliant lock it's very well made and has everything you need, drill bit, pilot drill and hex bit. the stick on template make it so easy. I had to add some plywood to the back of the shed door to build it up and make the door stronger and the whole job only took about an hour.

I've fitted this fabulous lock to our garden shed and my partner and I both agree it's a great piece of kit. Well worth the extra cost compared with cheaper offerings. Built like a tank and likely to outlive its owners.Highly recommended!

This is a really neat and thoughtfully packaged kit, The lock body itself is sturdy powercoated steel, and quite confidence inspiring, it comes with long, decent sized,stainless steel tamperproof screws, and importantly, also with a driver bit. There's a decent, oversized keep with a plastic liner, again with tamperproof screws, and a polished stainless steel escutcheon. There's a pair of drilling template stickers for alignment (one left one right handed), decent written instructions (in good English, for those that consider such things important). And finally, it comes with a pair of drill bits: One presumably a pilot drill for the screws, the other spade bit for the lock body.The problem, is the drill bits were the wrong size. the pilot drill was 5mm, and the spade drill was 19mm. The (clear) instructions stated the drill for the screws should be 3.5mm and the spade for the lock body should be 18mm - okay this is probably a bit pedantic, but for the hard of thinking if you used the 5mm pilot drill, it would spoil your day as you'd probably find the security screws would then pull out of even slightly softer would without much effort.As it was I had the right drill bits in my toolbox, so fitting wasn't much of a problem at all.If I was being really picky, I'd also say the steel escutcheon could do with a bit more de-burring, but that's really super fussy.All in all I like the thought that went into the kit, but the attention to detail needs a bit of work.

Nicely built, convenient drilling templates.I chose the version with a key both sides as the bolt moves freely and can be slid sideways on the thumb-turn version. (That's just how the euro cylinder works, pity there isnt a side mounted button that you have to depress to turn the handle or something..)The supplied tooling is a nice idea, but the flat bit they supplied was not sharp! I used my own..Quick tip, when locked the bolt protrudes more than you might expect, if your gate opens next to a wall, I suggest you lock the bolt, offer it up to the gate and mark its position before using the template to drill the holes!

Great lock really sturdy, easier access between front garden and back and added security from the old bolt lock we previously had

Having fitted one of these locks before with no problem, they are very good value. Should provide me many years of service.

This lock is a quality product. I can not find any fault in it. It is heavy, sturdy, good looking and has all the tools/accessories to install it. Highly recommend it
