Lion Head Cottesloe digital gate lock

Who the Cottesloe gate lock suits

The Cottesloe goes on a side gate or front gate that you want locked but still easy to get through. The gardener, the cleaner or a dog walker can have a code, and the kids can come in on a fingerprint without a key on a lanyard.

It has the keypad on the outside only, so you just open it by hand from inside. It is rated IP65, which suits a gate that sits out in the weather.

What we check before we fit it

• The gate frame. It suits gates 35 to 50 mm thick, timber or metal. We measure the frame where the lock goes.
• The latch. It comes with the Lion Head heavy duty 60/70 mm adjustable tubular latch with a round edge faceplate, so the frame needs room for it.
• How the gate closes. A gate that sags or swings past the post won’t latch. We tell you if the hinges or post need sorting first.
• The strike side. The latch needs something solid to catch on, such as a post, a wall or the other leaf of a double gate.
• Remote access. A Lion Head WiFi gateway has to be within range of the gate, which Lion Head lists as 10 to 15 m. Out by a side gate that can be the tricky part.

Living with the Cottesloe gate lock

• Battery. It runs on a single CR123 battery. Lion Head says up to 12 months, depending on how often the gate is used.
• Flat battery. Plug a power bank into the USB C port and use your code, or use the 5 pin backup key.
• Users. It holds 200 fingerprints, 150 PIN codes and 200 cards.
• Heat. Lion Head rates it from minus 25°C to 60°C.

Single or double keypad?

The Cottesloe double gate lock has a keypad on both sides and runs on 2 CR123 batteries. Pick it when you want a code or fingerprint to get out as well as in, for example to keep young kids or a dog inside the yard. See the Lion Head Cottesloe double gate lock.
