Customer Reviews

Robert Thompson

I've been through three different gate locks before finding Gatemate, and let me tell you - this is the real deal! Installed their double-keyed lock on my backyard gate last month after neighborhood kids kept using our yard as a shortcut. The mechanism is solid and the throw is actually long enough to account for gate movement (previous locks would bind when the gate shifted). Installation was straightforward, though you'll want a proper drill and measuring tape. The lock action is smooth - none of that sticking or jamming I experienced with cheaper brands. We had a massive thunderstorm last week and while everything got soaked, the lock worked perfectly afterward. No rust spots yet either. Worth every penny for the peace of mind. Will definitely be upgrading the side gate with another Gatemate soon!

Sarah Jeffries

Oh my goodness, FINALLY a lock system that actually makes sense! As someone managing a small urban community garden, keeping our multiple gates secure while allowing member access was becoming a nightmare. I ordered a set of 3 keyed-alike locks from Gatemate and they've been absolute game-changers. Before: juggling different keys, constantly copying new ones, members losing specific gate keys. Now: One key works all gates! Simple! The quality is exceptional too. These aren't flimsy hardware store locks - they have a substantial weight and the mechanism feels precise. We've had them through Portland's rainy season with zero issues. Installation was straightforward with the included template. If you're managing multiple gates like we are, don't waste time with inferior options - just go with Gatemate from the start!

Having recently installed a wrought iron gate around my desert landscaped front yard, I required a lock that could withstand Arizona's extreme temperatures while providing security and convenience. The Gatemate Thumbturn Lock has exceeded my expectations in every respect. The internal mechanism demonstrates remarkable engineering precision. Unlike previous locks that became stiff and difficult to operate after exposure to our 110°F summer heat, this lock maintains smooth operation regardless of temperature fluctuations. The thumbturn feature is particularly convenient when carrying groceries or packages. Installation proceeded without complications, requiring approximately 25 minutes with standard tools. The included hardware is of superior quality compared to competing products. Most importantly, the aesthetic design complements my custom gate without detracting from its appearance. For those seeking both security and refinement, Gatemate represents an optimal solution.

Jennifer Mason

got this for our new garden gate & honestly didn't expect much - just needed something better than the flimsy latch that came with it. but WOW this push & slide lock is actually amazing!!! super easy to install (even for someone like me who usually needs to call my brother-in-law for anything tool-related lol). the best part is how SMOOTH it works - no sticking or jamming even after our crazy chicago winter dumped snow all over it for months! my 9-year-old can open it easily but it's secure enough that our escape-artist dog hasn't figured it out. i'm seriously impressed with how solid it feels - nothing rattles or feels cheap. already recommended to my neighbor who's been complaining about her gate lock for ages. if you're on the fence, just buy it - you won't regret it! worth every penny & then some. now i'm eyeing their other products for our back gate too...

Thomas Wellington

I must confess to being rather particular about hardware for my historical Charleston home and gardens. After three disappointing attempts with other manufacturers, I discovered Gatemate locks while searching for a solution worthy of my restored wrought iron gates. I acquired two keyed-different locks, as each serves a distinct entrance requiring separate access control. The craftsmanship is immediately apparent - substantial weight, precision machining, and thoughtful design elements throughout. The throw length accommodates the inevitable movement of century-old gates perfectly. The locks have weathered six months of coastal Carolina humidity admirably, with no corrosion despite our salt air. The key action remains butter-smooth, requiring no additional lubrication thus far. Installation was straightforward, though I would recommend proper measuring twice before drilling. For those who appreciate quality and longevity in their investments, Gatemate represents remarkable value. These locks will undoubtedly outlast lesser alternatives several times over. Highly recommended for discerning property owners.
