Deadbolts for gates
Deadbolts can be a strong option for certain framed walk gates and entry-style builds. The right choice depends on gate construction, alignment, and weather exposure.
Fit and function
Where deadbolts work best
We typically recommend deadbolts when the gate is built for door-style hardware and can hold alignment over time.
Framed walk gates
Best for gates with a rigid frame and reinforcement where the lockset mounts.
Strike alignment
We set the strike so the bolt throws cleanly without dragging for long-term reliability.
Weather sealing
We use weather-resistant components and plan water shedding to reduce corrosion and sticking.
Key management
If you need multiple keys or rekeying, we’ll help you choose a cylinder strategy that’s easy to manage.
Not sure what fits your gate?
We’ll confirm your gate construction and recommend a deadbolt setup that installs cleanly and holds up in Louisiana weather.
