There are 3 models of the Lokk Latch line of lockable gravity latches. Actually there are 4 if you consider the Lokk Latch Round a separate model (it is really a part of the Residential Series 2 line). The 3 models are the Residential Lokk Latch Series 2, Heavy Duty Lokk Latch Deluxe and the Commercial Lokk Latch Pro Self Locking. With all of these models, which one is the best for my gate? To answer that question lets first examine each latch individually.
Residential Lokk Latch Series 2
The Lokk Latch Series 2 is meant for light weight residential gates. The latch is available with or without an external access kit (EAK or we call it “the button”). This is an excellent latch that has a certain feature set which lends itself best to specific situations since the EAK and the main latch body lock independently. This allows a gate that swings INTO the yard to have what we call “free exit”. In other words the EAK is locked so someone on the outside of the fence can not open the gate but someone on the inside can open the gate without a key. The downside is that if the main part of the latch is locked (the part on the inside) you can NOT unlock it from the EAK .
Heavy Duty Lokk Latch Deluxe
The Lokk Latch Deluxe is a heavy duty latch meant for meduim weight residential and industrial gates. The Deluxe comes with the EAK and can be locked or unlocked from either side of the fence (much like a house door). Not only is this latch heavy duty, it’s 6 pin keyway can be re-keyed to match 90 percent of the house door knobs on the market.
Commercial Lokk Latch Pro Self-Locking
The Commercial Lokk Latch Pro Self-Locking is a heavy duty gravity latch that has a very special feature. Like the Deluxe it comes with the EAK, but unlike the Deluxe it locks every time the gate latches. In other words, you have to use the key to open this latch everytime. This works well for storage areas that you need to be sure remain locked.
Residential Lokk Latch for Round Posts
Like I mentioned above this latch operates like the Residential Lokk Latch Series 2. The only difference is it can be attached to round posts ( chain link ) .
