D&D Technologies LLD3KD LokkLatch Deluxe Series 3, Premium Privacy and Security Gate Latch, Key Lockable on Both Sides of Gate, for Metal, Wood, and Vinyl Fences, Black

It was easy to install. Just be precise. Works very smoothly.

Works as described. However it’s a poor lock so easy to pick or pry off with a simple crowbar. But it does lock the gate and if you have a security camera watching, the intruder won’t want to stand there for 5 minutes prying it off while the siren is blaring and security is on the way.

It comes with a Kwikset 6 pin cylinder, with a little work you can make a 6 pin Schlage cylinder work. It is the only thing that I have found, that works well on gates. It may take a locksmith to convert to Schlage or any other key in knob cylinder.

Very easy to install this gate latch.

Installation was a bit challenging with aligning some of the internal parts (the rod that passes through the gate frame). It was difficult to get the length correct. Also, buying duplicate keys is challenging as the blank is a 5-pin KW6, rather than the standard 4-pin KW1 (like would be for a normal house lock). Once installed, you have to be sure the lock "clicks" as you lock it, in order to ensure you have *actually* locked it. Due to the brisk weather conditions in Western NY (just south of Lake Ontario), the lock frequently froze and actually cracked, as ice froze inside the mechanism. I do not recommend this lock for any location that will require winter access. I installed the lock in December and found that it had cracked earlier this month (March). I'm hoping that the company reads this review, as I plan to seek a refund.

I needed to replace an existing Latch made by the same company. It lasted 18 years! So I bought another and the quality of this latch is just a good as the one I bought 18 years ago. I recommend this companies products. Shipping was very fast!

Made out of good materials for outdoor use.

Easy install. Works great
