There are quite a few
options for locking your gate. They range from gate latches that have a
lock built in to gate latches offering a hole to slide in a padlock, to
deadbolts, to slide bolts.
Lockable gate latches.
These include a lock as either an integral part of the gate latch, or as
an addition to the gate latch (such as a padlock slipped through a hole
in the latch). These range from the most basic old-style gate latch that
you tie a pull-string to, through highly engineered latches that have a
lock as a part of the design. All lockable gate latches are lockable on
one-side only (the inside of the gate, usually in the yard).

Yardware's selection of
lockable gate latches.
Deadbolts.
Sometimes you fall in love with a particular gate latch and it isn't
lockable, but you need some measure of security on the gate. A
deadbolt is a really good option. Installing a deadbolt requires
some tools and skill, but it looks and functions well. Generally, the deadbolt
is installed in addition to a latch. You can likely find one that
has the same finish as your latch.
There are two options for
deadbolts: single cylinder or double cylinder. Single cylinder means
that there is a knob on the inside of the gate and a keyed side on the
outside of the gate. If you need to lock your garden gate from both
sides, a double cylinder deadbolt is the ticket. You'll have a
keyed side on both sides of the gate. If you only need the security
occasionally, you can leave the deadbolt disengaged until you need it.
Deadbolts are slightly technical as far as installation goes--there is
some boring that's required in the internal guts of the gate and jamb.

How to Lock a Thick Gate or
Door?
We've seen a huge rise in the
number of thick gates and doors over the past year. A 5-inch thick
gate is becoming more and more common. Up until now, there have been
no deadbolt options for thick gates and doors.
After several months of design,
engineering, and testing, we've introduced a single cylinder
deadbolt that can fit gates between 3" and 5-1/2".

See 360
Yardware's selection of
deadbolts.
Any deadbolt can be ordered as a double cylinder deadbolt.
Another possibility for a
lockable gate latch is to use the deadbolt as a latch. The
benefit is that you only need one piece of hardware. The downside is
that you'll need a key to open the gate from the street-side of the gate
(or both sides of the gate if you choose a double cylinder deadbolt).
You'll also always need to latch the deadbolt by hand, rather than
having a gate latch that's self-latching.
One
recently introduced option on the
scene is the Emtek Keypad Deadbolt Lockset. Available in either
sandcast bronze or brass, the lockset allows you to enter the gate
without a key, by entering a key code of your choosing. It also has a
place to use the key if you'd like. On the inside of the gate you just
turn the knob and lock it up. Due to the electronics inside this
deadbolt set, Emtek recommends it be used only on gates in protected
areas (if exposed to a lot of seasonal rain) or in areas of low
rainfall. See the
Emtek Keypad Deadbolt Lockset.
Slide
Bolts, Barrel
Bolts, etc. Whereas deadbolts are operable from both sides of the
gate, slidebolts, barrel bolts and others like them are installed on the
inside (yard-side) of the gate. They are installed as an additional
measure above or below a non-locking gate latch. To engage the lock, you
slide the barrel into the catch and it prevents the gate from being
opened from either side. These types of bolts are surface-mounted to the
face of the gate.
We also
offer the
Emtek surface bolt, also called a Dutch Bolt, which is available in
four lengths: 6", 12", 18", and 24".
