🔑 Option 1: Keyed Gate Locks - Traditional, Simple, Secure
Keyed gate locks function just like a door lock. They can be:
- Deadbolts or
- Lever locks with a gate latch
We can install these locks on most gates, and we can even key them to match your home or business key, so one key works everything.
Disadvantages of Keyed Solutions:
Keyed gate locks often require physical modifications to the gate—and that’s where hidden costs come in.
Most gates, especially side yard or metal-framed ones, aren’t built to accept standard deadbolts or doorknob-style locks. To make them work, we often need to:
- Weld or add metal plates for proper mounting
- Cut or reinforce parts of the frame
These modifications take extra time and materials, so while you save on the part, the labor cost cancels out those savings.
In short: the lock itself may be cheap, but the labor to make it fit isn’t. If your gate wasn’t designed with a keyed lock in mind, expect added costs to make it secure and functional.
🔓 Option 2: Mechanical Keyless Gate Locks - No Power, No Keys

Mechanical gate locks use push-button codes and require no batteries, no wiring, and no keys. They’re perfect for:
- Side gates at Phoenix homes
- Small apartment gates
- Business yards or fenced-in areas
- HOA and rental property gates
You can choose single-sided or double-sided mechanical locks (requiring a code to enter and exit). Many come with lifetime warranties and are built for Arizona’s heat and dust.
These are the most affordable keyless gate locks you can install since the gate only requires minor modifications in most cases.
📲 Option 3: Electronic Gate Locks
Electronic Pin Pad Gate Lock on Pool GateElectronic gate locks use PIN codes or key fobs/cards to grant access. Unlike mechanical locks, they offer:
- Multi-user support
- Audit trails (track who accessed and when)
- Remote code management
- User scheduling (restrict access by time of day)
They’re ideal for:
- Apartment complexes
- Gated communities
- Employee-only gates
- Pool gates requiring restricted access
Best of all, many models are wireless and don’t need power cables. However, in almost all cases the gate must be modified and have a gate box installed making them the most expensive solution.
