* The Lokk-Bolt has two detent grooves, both of which
are for either retaining or locking the rod in place. The
lower groove holds the Lokk-Bolt off the ground and the
upper groove locks the rod into place for security.
Hole depth recommended to be
minimum of 1.1/4” (30mm)

LokkBolt is supplied and configured to suit a right-hand
gate when viewed from inside (house side).
Important: In order to re-configure LokkBolt for left-hand
gates, please read the instructions overleaf entitled
ʻRe-configuring the Lokk-Bolt for Left-Hand Gatesʼ.
Tools required: Electric drill,
5 ⁄
8
”– 3 ⁄
4
” (16–19mm)
drill-bit (to suit masonry), 5 ⁄
32
” (4mm) drill-bit (for pilot
holes in thick steel), Phillips No. 2 screwdriver (hand &
powered types), level, pencil.
1. Ensure all gates are level to the finished ground
surface. The Lock Housing (see right) on the LokkBolt
should be key-locked into the upper “detent” groove*.
Locate the Lokk-Bolt on the inside of the gate (house
side), positioning it so the bottom of the bolt rests on
the ground surface (concrete, tiles, stone etc). The
Lokk-Bolt must be held or clamped so that the two
mounting brackets sit firmly against the gate frame.
2. Mark a circle on the ground surface around the
bottom of the stainless steel rod. Drill this hole
5 ⁄
8
”– 3 ⁄
4
” (16–19mm) to a suitable depth. (The hole will
need to be larger if a pipe is to be inserted.)
3. Locate the LokkBolt back onto the gate, with
the rod inserted into the hole to the required
depth. The position of the Lower Bracket is
important; it should be as low as possible, but
no further from the Lock Housing than the
maximum measurements shown in Diagram B
overleaf. Use a pencil to mark inside the slots
of both brackets for the mounting screws, using
the brackets as the templates. Remove the
LokkBolt.
4. The LokkBolt is supplied with self-drilling
screws; use these for fixing the product to the
gate. If fixing to thick-sectioned steel gates,
drill 5 ⁄
32
” (4mm) pilot holes through the
center of the marked slots. For wooden gates,
consult your local hardware expert to obtain
appropriate wood screws.
5. Insert the four Dress Caps supplied into the screw slots.
The Lokk-Bolt is now ready for use.
