TOPENS ET24 Electric Gate Lock for 24VDC Automatic Swing Gate Opener

The TOPENS ET24 electric gate lock adds a secure, automatic lock to your driveway swing gate. It works with your 24V gate opener: the lock releases just before the gate opens and locks again once the gate has closed, so you never need a second remote or a manual padlock.

An electric gate lock is strongly recommended for any gate leaf longer than 1.5 metres. It holds the gate firmly against strong winds, removes the "wiggle room" between gate and post, keeps pets safely inside and stops the gate being forced open.

Key features

• Fully automatic – unlocks before opening and locks after closing, triggered by your gate opener.
• Built for UK weather – waterproof coated housing for year-round outdoor use.
• Strong steel construction – Q235 steel body, light enough not to weigh down the end of the gate.
• Manual release keys included – open the gate by hand during a power cut or if you lose your remote.
• Easy DIY installation – step-by-step instructions included.

Compatibility

The ET24 fits all types of swing gates – single or double, made from steel, wood, vinyl or plastic, in panel, tube or chain-link styles. It is compatible with all TOPENS and CASAR swing gate openers, and with most other 24V DC gate opener systems that have an electric lock output.

Not compatible with 12V gate openers. For third-party openers, the lock terminal on the control board must provide 24V DC, more than 3 amperes, with a power-on-to-unlock output signal.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an electric lock for my automatic gate?

If your gate leaf is longer than 1.5 metres, or your property is exposed to wind, an electric gate lock is strongly recommended. Gate opener arms alone can let a long gate move or be forced; the lock holds it firmly shut.

Will the ET24 work with my gate opener if it is not a TOPENS?

Yes, if your opener is a 24V DC system with an electric lock ("Lock" or "E-lock") terminal that supplies more than 3 amperes and powers on to unlock. It does not work with 12V gate openers.

Can I open the gate during a power cut?

Yes. The ET24 comes with manual release keys so you can unlock and open the gate by hand.

Does it work on double (dual) swing gates?

Yes. The ET24 can be fitted to single or dual swing gates and removes the gap between the two gate leaves.
