New Surface Latch from Codelocks delivers effortless surface-mounted access control for gates and fences

Rancho Cucamonga, California, 6 March 2025 – Codelocks is expanding its Gate Solutions by Codelocks range with the introduction of the new Codelocks’ Surface Latch . This versatile, self-locking surface-mount latch is designed for easy installation on light-duty gates where traditional tubular latches are not an option or where the gate structure allows for installation without a gate box.

Matt Welty, Vice President, Americas at Codelocks Inc. said: "These days, securing outdoor spaces and property boundaries is a top priority for both homeowners and businesses. That's why at Codelocks we’ve introduced our new Surface Latch. We've designed it to be easy to install and self-locking, perfect for controlling access to external gates that see light to moderate use. It's specifically made for gates where heavy-duty hardware isn’t suitable – think residential side gates leading to shared gardens, backyard utility spaces, private parking spots and driveways, or even small farms and industrial sites."

The Surface Latch has a simple, surface mount installation and is non-handed, making it suitable for left- and right-handed and in-swing gates of between 1⅜ to 2⅜ thickness. It also works seamlessly with locks from Codelocks’ mechanical and electronic ranges, giving customers the reassurance of Codelocks’ high-performance and reliability. 

Codelocks’ Surface Latch comes in two finishes: Marine Grade Black and Brushed Steel, giving it an unobtrusive look and suitability for a range of external applications.

Part of the comprehensive Gate Solutions by Codelocks range of products, that are designed to protect perimeters and outdoor areas with easy-to-use, Surface Latch offers effective access control that is perfect for residential and commercial settings. Find out more here.
