D&D Technologies Lokk-Bolt User manual

FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
Lokk-Bolt is supplied and congured to suit a right-hand
gate when viewed from inside (house side).
Important: In order to re-congure Lokk-Bolt for left-hand
gates, please read the instructions overleaf entitled
ʻRe-conguring the Lokk-Bolt for Left-Hand Gatesʼ.
Tools required: Electric drill, 5/8”–3/4” (16–19mm)
drill-bit (to suit masonry), 5/32” (4mm) drill-bit (for
pilot holes in thick steel), Phillips No. 2 screwdriver
(hand & powered types), level, pencil.
1. Ensure all gates are level to the nished ground
surface. The Upper Bracket (see right) on the Lokk-Bolt
should be located in the upper “detent” groove.
Locate the Lokk-Bolt on the inside of the gate (house
side), positioning it so the bottom of the bolt rests on
the ground surface (concrete, tiles, stone etc). The
Lokk-Bolt must be held or clamped so that the two
mounting brackets sit rmly against the gate frame.
2. Mark a circle on the ground surface around the
bottom of the stainless steel rod. Drill this hole
5/8”–3/4” (16–19mm) to a suitable depth. (The hole
will need to be larger if a pipe is to be inserted.)
3. Locate the Lokk-Bolt back onto the gate, with
the rod inserted into the hole to the required
depth. The position of the Lower Bracket is
important; it should be as low as possible, but
no further from the Upper Bracket than the
maximum measurements shown in Diagram B
overleaf. Use a pencil to mark inside the slots of
both brackets for the mounting screws, using the
brackets as the templates. Remove the Lokk-
Bolt.
4. The Lokk-Bolt is supplied with self-drilling
screws; use these for xing the product
to the gate. If xing to thick-sectioned
steel gates, drill 5/32” (4mm) pilot holes
through the center of the marked slots. For
wooden gates, consult your local hardware
expert to obtain appropriate wood screws.
5. Insert the four Dress Caps supplied into the screw slots.
The Lokk-Bolt is now ready for use.

Re-configuring the Lokk-Bolt for Left-Hand Gates
1) Drive the Pin out of the lower end of the stainless steel rod.
Place the Pin in a safe place.
2) Slide the Lower and Upper Brackets off the rod…BUT
remember which of the brackets is the Upper Bracket.
3) Flip over the two Brackets (i.e. rotate them end over end)
and slide them back onto the rod – ensuring that the Upper
Bracket slides onto the rod first (as it carries a detent clip within
its housing). The Upper Bracket will meet resistance when it
reaches each of the detent grooves on the rod; simply push it
through the first groove and into the second (upper) groove.
4) Insert the Pin back into the end of the rod. Ensure at least
1/16” (nearly 2mm) of the pin is left protruding to prevent the
Brackets sliding off the bolt.
