Before You Start
The installation has two parts ...
• Mounting The Lock
• Mounting The Keypad
Once you have the necessary wire and mounting hardware, you are
ready to begin the installation.
Materials you will need before you begin the installation.
• For all installations use mounting hardware (not included) no greater than 5/16” diameter.
Note: for a more secure installation, we suggest you use lock washers and/or lock nuts on
all mounting hardware.
• For most IRON and ALUMINUM TUBE gates (see Illustration C, page 6) use bolts, wash-
ers, and nuts to mount both the lock and the receiver.
• For most CHAIN LINK gates (see Illustration D, page 6) use U-Bolts and saddles to mount
the lock, and use bolts, washers, and nuts to mount the receiver.
Other materials you may need before you begin the installation:
• If mounting Bulldog lock on brick columns, walls, or other applications with limited space
between gate and post use the Column Mount Lock Receiver.
• Use PVC conduit for protection of low voltage wire connecting the control box to battery
charger and entry control (see Illustration A, page 5).
• The push button is included with your Bulldog Gate Lock for entry control. However, other
devices (card readers, keypads) with normally open (n/o) contacts may be used. Transmit-
ters are not compatible with this product.
