DSSlocksmiths: "Buy a Viro gate lock. Takes a 12V pulse to unlock. You can set it so it takes a single pulse and stays unlocked until reclosed, or set it to what is effectively "power to open" on a timer for 5 seconds. There's a euro cylinder option so you could fit a thumbturn for escape, or add a key on the outside or whatever." | DSSlocksmiths: "Buy a Viro gate lock. Takes a 12V pulse to unlock.

Adrian Godwin (with regards to the special requirement of the gates needing a lock that locks the two wings together?): "To lock the gates, you could have a long locking-bar pivoting about its centre. Each end fits into an appropriate bracket and the lock clamps the bar into the bracket. It's therefore quite a close tolerance as long as the gates are straightened from their current state. This only requires a pivot plate and two or four brackets welded to the gate. Closure can be sensed with an inductive sensor on each bracket, confirming that the locking bar is in place at both ends." | |||
