Single Cylinder Gate Locks for Simple and Secure Entry

Single cylinder gate locks operate with a key on one side and a thumbturn on the other. Straightforward hardware for residential and light commercial gates that need basic keyed security without complexity.

Where Single Cylinder Gate Latches Are Used

Backyard fences, side yard gates and garden entries are the most common applications. Single cylinder gate latches handle everyday use well and are easy to rekey if access needs to change.

Key Outside, Thumbturn Inside

The single cylinder configuration means you need a key to enter from the outside but can exit freely from the inside without one. A practical setup for any gate where free egress matters.

Built for Outdoor Use

Our single cylinder gate locks use weather-resistant materials and finishes that hold up in outdoor conditions without corroding or stiffening over time.

Compatible With Standard Gate Frames

These locks fit most standard residential gate frames and are available in finishes that match common fence hardware so the overall installation looks intentional rather than pieced together.

Frequently Asked Questions

Key on the outside, thumbturn on the inside. You need a key to enter but can exit freely without one.

They can be used but pool gates often have specific self-closing and self-latching code requirements. Confirm local regulations before choosing hardware for a pool enclosure.

Most can be rekeyed by a locksmith to match existing keys on the property, which is useful if you want one key to work across multiple locks.

Look for models with weather-resistant finishes. Cheaper options can corrode or stiffen over time, particularly in coastal or high humidity environments.

A latch keeps the gate closed but does not lock it. A single cylinder gate lock adds a keyed deadbolt or lockset that prevents the gate from being opened without a key from outside.
