USAUTOMATIC
ELECTRIC GATE LOCK
Part Number 070510
Installation Manual
The USAutomatic Electric Gate Lock works with an automatic gate operator to securely lock the gate into
position without having to get out of your vehicle. The USAutomatic Electric Gate Lock is wired into the gate
operator control box, so that when an input device such as a transmitter or keypad is used to open the gate,
the USAutomatic Electric Gate Lock disengages and the gate will open. When the gate closes, the gate lock
automatically engages to secure the gate in the closed position.
The USAutomatic Electric Gate Lock provides an extra level of protection.
In addition to protection, it provides stability for the gate by securely locking the gate into position, so that
damaging effects, such as wind, are minimized. The result is the gate and automatic gate operator will stay
in excellent working condition for a much longer time.
The USAutomatic Electric Gate Lock Assembly works with most types of gates and mounting applications.
NOTE: In order for the USAutomatic Electric Gate Lock to work properly, the gate must close rmly against
the stop gate post or closed position stop plate. To achieve the desired closed position, you may need to
slightly adjust the gate operator closed limit set points. Instructions for adjusting the closed limit set points
are included in your automatic gate operator manual.
THIS LOCK IS DESIGNED FOR 12VDC CONTROL SYSTEMS.
PLEASE NOTE OPERATING VOLTAGE IS 10VDC TO 14VDC
PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE MANUAL CAREFULLY PRIOR TO INSTALLATION.

GENERAL TOOL REQUIREMENTS
Tools required for most installations:
• Wrench – 9/16 inch • Socket 3/8 inch
• Drill • Drill bits 1/8 and 3/8 inch
• Pliers • Level
• Hack saw • Tape measure
Welding is the recommended method of securing the lock mounting plate and the strike bracket to the
gate and hinge post. The Lock Housing should NEVER be welded. Internal parts can be damaged by
excessive heat. Bolt on brackets are provided and are acceptable but may require frequent service to
keep tight. They must be very securely attached (i.e. carriage bolts with lock nuts and washers).

INSTALLATION EXAMPLES

Read and follow ALL instructions.
With a level, draw a horizontal line across center of
fence rail and continue across to receptor post. Then
draw a vertical line down the center of the receptor gate
post creating a center reference point (+).
On receptor post, measure and mark vertical center line
3/8” above reference point (+) and 3/8” below reference
point (+). Then on fence rail, horizontally measure and
mark 6-3/4” and 9-1/4” from reference point (+) along
horizontal line on fence rail.
Check measurements. If welding, use these reference
points to locate the lock mounting bracket and strike
bracket. If bolting, center punch these marks and drill
pilot holes using 1/8” bit. (Fig A) Using a long 3/8” drill
bit, and using the pilot holes as your guide, drill holes
completely through post and fence rail (taking care to
be as level and true as possible).
Mount the strike bracket without the strike pin to the
receptor post using the two 6” carriage bolts and lock
nuts supplied (to allow for adjustment, do not tighten
completely). (Fig B)
Now install the lock mounting bracket on the center
of the gate rail using the 4” carriage bolts and lock nuts
supplied (again, do not tighten completely). (Fig B)
Before mounting the electric lock to the bracket, remove
the bottom plug and the end cap (using the allen wrench
supplied). Attach the Green (+) and Blue (-) wires to the
wires leading to your gate opener control box. (Fig C)
Do not attach wires to operator yet!
Disconnect power to opener. On USAutomatic operators,
remove motor plug(s) (X1 or X2) from control board.
Mount the Lock. Line up the holes on the mounting
bracket with the four mounting holes on the lock body.
Install the four 2” carriage bolts and tighten completely.
You are now ready to test for binding. (Fig. D)
Disconnect operator arm from gate.

Open and close gate by hand. If binding occurs, adjust the
strike bracket and/or lock mounting bracket until the lock
sits in the strike bracket without any binding. Check for
alignment of strike pin with slot in the lock housing. (Fig. E)
Fully tighten lock nuts on both brackets.
You are now ready to power the lock. Attach the two
wires from the electric lock to those leading to the correct
terminals on your operator board. (For USAutomatic
openers, see Wiring Chart)
When using the electric lock with other brands of gate
openers, it is important to note that the lock is designed
for intermittent activation only. The electric lock only needs
power upon opening. Power applied for extended periods
of time will damage the electric lock.
You are now ready to test the lock for proper operation with the operator.
IMPORTANT! Keep hands clear of any Moving parts
during powered operation or testing!
Re-connect operator arm.
Reconnect power to operator (motor plugs)
Initiate operator to open and visually observe lock to see if Lock Pin retracts
during opening and extends during closing. It is important that power is only
applied during the opening cycle. All power to the electric lock should be
off during the closing cycle or in the rest position. If the lock retracts and
extends properly, install strike pin with clevis clip or padlock.
Gate operator limit switches should be reset at this time if necessary to ensure
proper lock closure. After all adjustments and tests have been completed, tighten
nuts and cut off any excess bolt length.
The electric lock is now ready for full operation.
