SDC’s GateLok™ GL series electric gate locks are designed to provide access control and remote locking and unlocking capability for manual or automatic chain link, tubular steel and wrought iron sliding or swinging gates. Although designed for a 3” fence post and a 2” gate post, GL series locks are adaptable for smaller sizes. GL series locks provide higher security than electromagnetic locks.
All GL series locks are equipped with stainless steel bolts, heavy gauge weatherized steel housing and automatic relock switches. Automatic relock switches keep the bolt retracted until the gate is in the closed position. All can be unlocked by an access or remote control.
GL163A and GL263A models may also be unlocked by a built-in keyswitch.*
GL260MRA models may also be unlocked by a built-in mechanical release mortise cylinder. The mechanical release is for momentary override and does not maintain a sustained unlocked mode. Unlike GL260A and GL263A models, GL260MRA mechanical release models will retract the bolt even without DC power.*
* Key cylinder sold separately.

SDC GL160AI – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What are SDC GL series electric gate locks used for?
SDC GL series locks secure electric gates in commercial and industrial settings. They integrate with access control systems to provide automated locking and unlocking. Common applications include parking garages, loading docks, and perimeter security gates.
2) Are these locks compatible with swing or sliding gates?
SDC GL series locks work with both swing and sliding gate configurations. The mounting method varies by gate type. Verify your gate frame dimensions and weight capacity before installation. Check the manufacturer specifications for exact compatibility requirements.
3) How do I determine left-hand versus right-hand configurations?
Stand on the outside of the gate looking toward the hinge side. If hinges are on the right, it's right-hand. If hinges are on the left, it's left-hand. Order the corresponding hand configuration for proper lock alignment and operation.
4) What finish options are available for GL series locks?
SDC typically offers satin chrome, dark bronze, and aluminum finishes for GL series locks. Finish availability varies by specific model. Choose finishes that match existing gate hardware and provide adequate corrosion resistance for your environment.
5) What power requirements do these electric locks have?
Most SDC GL series locks operate on 12VDC or 24VDC power supplies. Current draw varies by model but typically ranges from 200-500mA when energized. Verify power specifications match your access control system output before installation.
6) Do these locks meet building code requirements?
SDC GL series locks typically comply with IBC and NFPA requirements when properly installed. They include fail-safe operation for fire life safety. Consult local codes and AHJ requirements as regulations vary by jurisdiction and application type.
7) What accessories are needed for installation?
Basic installations require the lock body, strike plate, and mounting hardware. Additional accessories may include conduit fittings, weatherproof housings, and alignment brackets. Check the installation template for required components specific to your gate configuration.
8) What are the basic installation requirements?
Installation requires proper gate frame reinforcement to handle lock forces. Run low voltage wiring through conduit to the lock location. Follow manufacturer templates for precise positioning. Test lock operation and alignment before final mounting.
9) How do I maintain and adjust these gate locks?
Perform quarterly inspections of lock alignment and strike engagement. Clean debris from lock mechanisms regularly. Lubricate moving parts per manufacturer schedule. Check electrical connections for corrosion. Adjust strike position if gate settling occurs.
10) Are there similar models or alternatives in the SDC line?
SDC offers various gate lock models including the EL series for lighter duty applications. The GL series provides heavy-duty performance for commercial gates. Consider load requirements and environmental factors when selecting between model lines.
11) How do weather conditions affect lock performance?
GL series locks include weather sealing for outdoor applications. Extreme cold may affect response time. Ice buildup can prevent proper strike engagement. Install weatherproof housings in harsh conditions. Regular maintenance prevents moisture-related issues.
12) What are the key measurements needed before ordering?
Measure gate frame thickness, backset distance, and available mounting space. Record gate weight and width for load calculations. Verify clearances for lock body installation. Check power wire routing path. Use manufacturer templates to confirm fitment before ordering.
