GTR181 Electric Lock Manual Rev 1
All new design with a low force, hinged catch mechanism. Perfect for gates in windy areas.
This lock is designed to secure your gate firmly in place, even during power loss.
Warning: Extreme wind conditions (storms etc.) may still cause this lock to bind temporarily.
A magnetic lock is recommended if extreme winds or overly large gates are used.
A ground stopper should also be fitted when used on a double swing gate.

GTR181 Electric Lock Manual Rev 1
Important Information:
1. Before you install the Electric Lock please be sure the gate is level, moves freely, and does not
bind or block against barriers
2. For the Electric Lock to work correctly, the gate must close firmly engaging the lock catch against
the lock receiver.
3. The Electric Lock must be installed on the outside of the gate if the gate is Push-to-Open.
4. Due to the various mounting conditions, mounting hardware is not provided. Read this manual
carefully to determine the mounting hardware required for your condition.
5. For dual gate, the lock must be installed on the Master Gate (gate 1) which is near the Control Box,
and the lock receiver must be installed on the Slave Gate (gate 2).
(If the gate near the control box has been set up as slave gate, you can change the settings following
User's Manual for your gate automation kit).
6. For a single gate, the lock operates best when the gate has a firm stopper or post to close against.
This reduces the impact damage to the lock.
7. For a dual gate, we recommend a ground stopper be fitted so that (at minimum) the receiver gate
closes firmly with no movement. This gives the electric lock a stable contact area.
8. Avoid using self-tapping fasteners as they are prone to loosening with vibration.

Installation for Single Swing Gate
Step 1: Disengage the clutch of the swing arm with the Manual Release Key. Make sure you can
move the gate by hand, so the gate can swing freely during installation of the Electric Lock.
Step 2: With the gate in the closed position, determine the best location for the lock and receiver.
The lock and receiver must be level and aligned with the opener. The lock and receiver should have a
solid surface or tube fence to provide stability
Step 3: For a Metallic Tube gate, steel tube with a wall thickness of 3mm or more can be threaded
to allow the lock and receiver to be fastened using only bolts (without nuts).
Otherwise, drill holes through the fence post and fasten the lock and receiver with bolts, lock washers
and nuts. Of course you could also weld them directly.
For a Chain Link gate, you will need U Bolts, saddles, lock washers and nuts for the lock and
receiver.
Step 4: Recheck the locks position and alignment, make sure the electric lock is working correctly.
Step 5: Connect the power cables for the lock to the control board of swing gate opener and Lock
plus board. (See wiring diagrams included).
Note: Be sure that the clutch of the swing arm is engaged before you prepare to activate your
opener (Use the Manual Release Key)
