Gate Hardware – Secure Gates with Specialized Locks & Latches

Reinforce Perimeter Access with Purpose-Built Hardware

Securing a perimeter starts at the gate.
And unlike standard doors, gates require hardware designed to withstand constant outdoor exposure, aggressive use, and code-specific safety needs.

Whether you’re protecting a commercial yard, school campus, residential complex, or utility facility, ZenSupply stocks the Gate Boxes pros trust including outdoor-rated locks, latches, hinges, drop rods, and panic exit devices built to handle real-world demands.

ZenSupply. We make it EASY.

Why Gate Hardware Needs to Be Different

Unlike interior doors, gates must deal with:

• Continuous exposure to weather and temperature shifts
  
  
• Vibration, wind, and ground movement
  
  
• Higher levels of wear, corrosion, and abuse
  
  
• Security needs that span both mechanical and access control functions
  
  

Standard locks or closers simply won’t hold up.
You need hardware that’s engineered for gates weather-resistant, high-cycle, and code-compliant.

Common Gate Hardware Questions

Q: Can I use a regular door lock on a gate?
A: No. Door locks are not weather-rated or impact-resistant enough for outdoor gates. Use gate-specific locks and latches.

Q: Do gates need panic bars?
A: Yes if used as an egress path in enclosed spaces. Always check IBC/ADA/local codes.

Q: What's the best way to keep double gates aligned?
A: Use a drop rod or cane bolt to secure one side, allowing the other to latch properly.
