ABK 6 turn dead lock

Secure your gates and doors with the ABK 6 Turn Dead Lock
Features a 6-throw bolt action for maximum strength, a galvanised finish for corrosion resistance, and a reversible latch. Ideal for outdoor security applications.

Maximum Security with Multi-Throw Action
When standard locks are not enough to secure your property, you need a lock engineered for heavy-duty protection. The ABK 6 turn dead lock is designed specifically for demanding applications like garden gates, workshop doors, and perimeter fencing.

Unlike standard latches that simply spring shut, this lock requires a deliberate six full rotations of the key to drive a substantial bolt deep into the door frame or ground socket. This powerful multi-throw action provides an exceptionally secure closure, resisting forced entry and the elements with unwavering reliability.

What is a 6 Turn Dead Lock?
A 6 turn dead lock is a high-security locking mechanism most commonly used on gates. The user must turn the key six full rotations to fully extend the locking bolt.

This mechanism offers several distinct advantages over standard rim or night latches. The multiple turns drive a long, thick bolt deep into a receiver, providing a far stronger physical barrier. Because the bolt is mechanically driven into position, it resists being jimmied or shaken open, a common vulnerability with spring-loaded latches. The multiple turns also provide a clear tactile and visual indication that the lock is fully and securely engaged.

Key Features of the ABK 6 Turn Dead Lock

Robust 6-Throw Bolt Action
The defining feature of this ABK lock is its powerful 6-throw mechanism. With six turns of the key, a heavy-duty bolt is driven deep into the receiving socket. This creates a formidable barrier that is exceptionally resistant to prying, forcing, and impact.

Durable Galvanised Construction
Designed for outdoor use, this lock features a robust galvanised finish. This coating provides excellent protection against rust and corrosion, ensuring the lock continues to function smoothly even when exposed to rain, sun, and temperature changes for years.

Reversible Latch for Versatile Installation
The lock is designed for ease of installation on any gate. The latch mechanism is fully reversible, allowing it to be fitted to both left-hand and right-hand opening gates without the need for additional parts.

High-Quality Locking Cylinder
ABK equips this lock with a precision-engineered cylinder that accepts a standard cam lock key. The mechanism is designed to provide years of smooth, reliable operation with enough durability to withstand frequent daily use.

Secure Locking Sockets
The lock is designed to work with specific locking points. A ground socket receives the bolt when the gate is closed, anchoring it to the ground for maximum stability. A wall or frame socket is also included for securing the gate to a post or wall.

Ideal Applications
This heavy-duty lock is perfect for a range of security-critical applications.

For garden gates, it secures perimeter gates to prevent unauthorized access to your property. For workshops and sheds, it provides an additional layer of security for outbuildings where tools and equipment are stored. For commercial and industrial gates, it is ideal for securing yards, depots, and other commercial premises. For farm and agricultural use, the galvanised finish makes it well-suited for the harsh conditions of farm gates and outbuildings. For playgrounds and pool areas, it ensures that gates to potentially hazardous areas remain securely locked.

What is in the Box
The ABK 6 turn dead lock kit typically includes one lock case with 6-throw mechanism, one reversible latch with striking plate, one ground socket, one wall or frame socket, one locking cylinder with two keys, and all necessary mounting screws and fixings.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the 6 turn mechanism work?
The user inserts the key and turns it six full rotations. Each turn drives the heavy-duty bolt further out of the lock case. After six turns, the bolt is fully extended, reaching deep into the ground or frame socket to securely lock the gate.

What is the advantage of a galvanised finish?
Galvanisation is a process of applying a protective zinc coating to steel to prevent rusting. The galvanised finish makes this lock ideal for outdoor use, as it can withstand rain, humidity, and temperature changes without corroding.

Can I use this lock on any gate?
This lock is designed for use on gates. The reversible latch means it can be fitted to gates that open to the left or the right. It requires a flat surface for mounting and sufficient space for the bolt to travel into the ground or frame socket.

What is the difference between the ground socket and the wall socket?
The ground socket is designed to be set into the ground directly beneath the closed gate. The bolt extends down into this socket, providing a very secure, floor-level anchor. The wall or frame socket is mounted on the opposing gate or gate post to receive the bolt at the side.

Is this lock suitable for a front door?
While technically possible, this type of lock is more commonly used for gates and outbuildings rather than as a primary front door lock. For a front door, a 5-lever mortice deadlock or a multi-point locking system is typically recommended.

What keys does this lock use?
The lock is supplied with two standard cam lock keys that operate the 6-throw cylinder.
