Codelocks’ Adjustable Gate Latch fills the gaps in gate and fence market

Enschede, NL, 8 July 2025 – Codelocks has launched its Adjustable Gate Latch, giving locksmiths and facilities managers an easier way to control access through perimeter gates where the gate and post spacing exceeds the range of a traditional mortice latch. 

Steve Newman, Codelocks European Regional Director, said: “In lots of situations, regular mortice latches won’t do the job. Plus, the space between a post and gate can shift over time, especially in outdoor settings exposed to seasonal weather fluctuations that vary significantly in different European climates. Having a customisable option means locksmiths and facilities managers can set up secure, reliable fittings that they can adjust later on without having to replace everything. Our new product is literally and figuratively closing a gap in installers needs that others have left wide open.” 

Non-standard gaps are a common occurrence in outdoor applications where the ground, weather and a multitude of changing factors can result in non-standard post spacing. 

Codelocks’ easy-to-use product bridges these gaps with its manually adjustable bolt that can be extended or shortened by rotating it. Once installed, a locking faceplate prevents further adjustment to create a secure fitting and fastens the bolt at the desired length. It is adjustable from 12.5mm (8/16”) up to 20.5mm (13/16”), and to make readjustments the faceplate must be removed by a user with the access code for the accompanying lock.  

The latch is compatible with the CL400 Mechanical, CL500 Mechanical, and CL5000 Electronic ranges of locks, giving installers a wide selection of suitable locks for different applications. 

The Adjustable Gate Latch is part of Codelocks’ Gate Solutions range; a line of products designed and made for withstanding frequent use and outdoor conditions in residential and commercial settings. Find out more.
