Universal 12VDC(NOT 24VDC) Outdoor Automatic Electric Gate Lock for Swing Gate Opener Operator Automatic Gate Openers, Fail Secure Gate Lock, UL Listed Cable

This is a great gate lock for 12v gates. I used it to replace a gate lock on my Mighty Mule, so I didn't need the circuit board that came with the lock. The latch mechanism isn't nearly as strong or secure from tampering as most other locks, but certainly sufficient to keep the gate from blowing open and secure enough to keep honest people honest. The actual latch, though, was problematic. Like other non-magnetic locks, there is a fixed rod attached to the gate post and when the gate closes the latch locks behind this fixed rod. The latch, though, is V shaped, so when closed, especially in windy conditions, the rod can become trapped in the notch of the V. That prevents the latch from retracting. I added a small steel plate to the latch (by cutting a groove with a dremel on one side of the aluminum latch and using JBweld epoxy). It's worked like a champ every since!

Wasn’t compatible with my gate so I sent it back got full refund not problem with that side of things

If you really enjoy throwing your money down the drain, by this product. I bought one brand-new and it works 10% of the time because any and I mean any resistance from the wind, and the lock doesn't work. Definitely do not buy this.

Works with mighty mule gate opener 360 model. Not extra chip required, even though it came with one. Easy install. Been working through rain and wind and angry delivery people that want to try an open the gate by force at 9 o clock at night. This is why the lock was necessary, so the gate and the mechanical swing arm would stop getting damaged, and it works! That being said I highly recommend carriage bolts with solid metal beam or 6x6 wood post to attach the locking pin bracket. Lock is only as good as what it’s attached to. So far it’s sturdy and durable. I read other reviews for this and similar locks and think that it’s vitally important to make sure to center the locking pin bracket when you install it so it will release as designed and not try to hold your gate shut when the swing arm open it. The lock will win the tug-o-war battle if it’s not centered and your gate arm will pay the price. The relay chip for my model of gate opener didn’t need to be installed, took some research but basically the mighty mule 360 has its own relay so you need to plug it into the accessory slot on the power board. Works.

The hardest part of the install is figuring out the wiring. Also this latching mechanism really needs to be on the left gate. I installed it on the right gate and the wire access hole is pointing upward where water will probably get in. The wiring for a GTO gate maybe direct. In my case I didn't need the adapter board. I did have to put a jumper on my gate controller though. There is actually a painted on wire indicator on the control board itself showing where the jumper goes. It was a little hard to figure that out in the manual didn't really say it. I had no trouble with the latch mechanism catching or not engaging. It always pulls back even if there's a little bit of pressure on the gate. I don't see any issue at all with needing to make modifications to the brackets or to the latch. The gates I have are from tractor supply. They are metal farm gates and I put the latch mechanism on one side and the glass on the other. I used rev nuts in the metal but you could easily just drill holes and use the long bolts.
