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

I have a home made ledged an braced gate on my side access. I fitted a
5 lever motice lock onto the T&G v jointd cladding (19mm thick) using a
suitably eccavated block of wood boltec on with coach bolts. OK for 10
years
