Hi all

I am looking for ideas for gate locks.
The gate is 1.8m high and mounted between wooden posts which are bolted to
concrete ones.
We are finally getting round to securing the back garden and, as a result,
need to be able to securely lock/latch the gate shut.
The gate will be the only access round the house so it will need to be able
to be unlocked from either side.
Is there a key operated lock type specifically for gates.
I'm not that taken with the rim lock type, as the gate is fairly
smart/decorative.

Anyone got any ingenious lock systems which don't spoil the look too much?

TIA

Funnily enough, I saw a key-operated gate lock - (un)lockable from
either side - just the other day in Country Supplies (near High
Wycombe). I think it was Australian and cost around 40 quid.

Very neat and pretty unobtrusive. Fits, IIRC, with just one or two
screws. Sorry - that's all I remember. If you are interested and not in
this area, I will look next time I go there - but that might not be for
a few weeks. Let me know.
