FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
LokkBolt is supplied and congured to suit a right-hand
gate when viewed from inside (house side).
Important: In order to re-congure LokkBolt for left-hand
gates, please read the instructions overleaf entitled
ʻRe-conguring the Lokk-Bolt for Left-Hand Gatesʼ.
Tools required: Electric drill, 5⁄8”–3⁄4” (16–19mm)
drill-bit (to suit masonry), 5⁄32” (4mm) drill-bit (for pilot
holes in thick steel), Phillips No. 2 screwdriver (hand &
powered types), level, pencil.
1. Ensure all gates are level to the nished ground
surface. The Lock Housing (see right) on the LokkBolt
should be key-locked into the upper “detent” groove*.
Locate the Lokk-Bolt on the inside of the gate (house
side), positioning it so the bottom of the bolt rests on
the ground surface (concrete, tiles, stone etc). The
Lokk-Bolt must be held or clamped so that the two
mounting brackets sit rmly against the gate frame.
2. Mark a circle on the ground surface around the
bottom of the stainless steel rod. Drill this hole
5
⁄8”–3⁄4” (16–19mm) to a suitable depth. (The hole will
need to be larger if a pipe is to be inserted.)

3. Locate the LokkBolt back onto the gate, with
the rod inserted into the hole to the required
depth. The position of the Lower Bracket is
important; it should be as low as possible, but
no further from the Lock Housing than the
maximum measurements shown in Diagram B
overleaf. Use a pencil to mark inside the slots
of both brackets for the mounting screws, using
the brackets as the templates. Remove the
LokkBolt.
4. The LokkBolt is supplied with self-drilling
screws; use these for xing the product to the
gate. If xing to thick-sectioned steel gates,
drill 5⁄32” (4mm) pilot holes through the
center of the marked slots. For wooden gates,
consult your local hardware expert to obtain
appropriate wood screws.
5. Insert the four Dress Caps supplied into the screw slots.
The Lokk-Bolt is now ready for use.

*The Lokk-Bolt has two detent grooves, both of which
are for either retaining or locking the rod in place. The
lower groove holds the Lokk-Bolt off the ground and the
upper groove locks the rod into place for security.

Re-configuring the LokkBolt for Left-Hand Gates
1) Drive the Pin out of the lower end of the stainless steel rod.
2) Remove the Lower Bracket from the rod. Unlock the Lokk-Bolt to release
the Lock Housing, if necessary. Important: Hold the Lokk-Bolt HORIZONTALLY
as shown below in Diagram C, being careful to retain the Lock Housing in the
position shown.
3) Remove the rod slowly and carefully from the Lock Housing.
Very important: Steadily keep the Lock Housing in the horizontal position
shown! Reverse the rod and insert in to the other end of the Lock Housing.
Push the rod in until the upper detent groove clicks into position.
4) Test the working of the lock and then reassemble with the Lower Bracket and
the Pin (ensure at least 1⁄16”, or nearly 2mm, of the Pin is left protruding
to prevent the Brackets sliding off the bolt).

Problems? If the re-configured Lokk-Bolt does not fit into the housing, or
work as expected, it may be the detent spring inside the Lock Housing has
dislodged. See Diagram D. To rectify this, the rod should be removed from the
Lock Housing and the rear cover of the housing removed by unscrewing the
three retaining screws.
Any loose parts should be re-assembled; generally this will be only the Spring
and Lever, as shown in Diagram D. When the parts are re-assembled,
the rod can be pushed back into the Lock Housing.
Replace the rear cover.
Hold the Lock Housing
carefully (donʼt shake) in
this position as the rod is
removed and reversed.
