Galvanized Steel Garage Door Side Lock - 1 Pack, Silver

The material used in this product is steel, and the finish is zinc plated. It features 6 mounting holes, making it compatible with most garage doors, including wood, metal, and vinyl gates.

The key components of this product are as follows:

1. It consists of a spring-action slide bolt locking mechanism, designed to be mounted flush on the interior of the garage door.
2. The release mechanism safely releases the tension on the spring-action slide bolt, disengaging the slide bolt.

When it comes to usage, there are several important considerations:

1. Ensure that your garage side rails have the necessary slots and space before purchasing, especially if you're adding this to an automatic or manual garage door.
2. This latch must be manually unlatched before you can open the garage door.
3. Installing two deadlocks on opposite sides (one on each side) provides better security.
4. The product comes with a hole at the end, allowing you to attach a keyed pad lock for enhanced building security.
5. If someone has a remote-controlled deadbolt on a separate frequency, this latch will remain locked even if they manage to spoof your door opener.
6. When assembling the latch on the left side of the door, if you need to flip it over to install it on the right side, the slide will no longer match the cutout in the track. To resolve this, simply disassemble the lock and change the slide direction. This process is straightforward and takes less than a minute.

In summary, this steel, zinc-plated garage door latch is designed to provide reliable and secure access control for your garage. Its spring-action slide bolt mechanism, release mechanism, and multiple mounting options make it a versatile choice for a wide range of garage door types. The additional security features, such as the ability to use a keyed pad lock and compatibility with remote-controlled deadbolts, further enhance the overall protection of your garage and property.
