Another great example of the Locinox Vera in action.

This project used the single-sided Vera in combination with the required SFKU-V receiver, fitted onto a 40mm box section frame.

And these images show exactly why the Vera has become so popular so quickly.

Previously, fitting a coded lock onto a gate like this would often mean cutting into the infill to make everything work — adding installation time and creating potential issues if the lock ever needed replacing or servicing in the future.

The Vera changes that completely.

What you’re left with isn’t just a lock, but a much cleaner installation, less time on site, and a finished result that works perfectly with the overall gate design.

A smart solution that looks good and makes life easier at the same time.

Have you started using the Vera yet, or are you still sticking with more traditional coded lock setups?

If you’re looking for a straightforward way to add external pushbar exit to a site gate, the Locinox Pushbar is well worth a look.

Designed to work with existing Locinox LA chassis and insert locks, the system keeps installation simple by allowing the existing handles to be removed and replaced with the pushbar unit.

No unnecessary complications, no complete lock change, and no need to reinvent the setup already on the gate.

It’s a practical solution for commercial and site access gates where quick and reliable exit is important, while still keeping the installation process straightforward for the installer.

Like all Locinox products, it’s been designed with the installer in mind.

Simple, effective, and easy to integrate into existing setups.

Not every gate needs something complicated.

The Lokk Latch Series 2 is a straightforward, reliable option for garden and pedestrian gates — designed to do exactly what you need, without overthinking it.

Key lockable, so there’s no need for padlocks or chains, and built from strong polymer with marine-grade stainless steel components, meaning it won’t rust, stain, or let you down over time.

It’s also easy to work with on install. Adjustable both vertically and horizontally, with side-fixing legs to help get everything lined up properly, so you’re not fighting it to get a clean fit.

Suitable for most square-posted gates and adaptable for left or right-hand openings, it’s a practical choice that just works.

What’s your go-to solution for a simple, reliable garden gate latch?

Most people stick with what they know — even if it isn’t always the best choice.

This TFS Gates used the Locinox self-closing Tiger hinge and the TFS Direct Locinox Intralec Kit, which pairs a Locinox insert lock with the discreet Intralec system.

With 3006Fix handles (don’t forget your blocking handles when using an electric strike) it delivered a smooth, reliable, and secure finish for the gate.

Would you stick with your usual setup, or try a combination that makes installation easier and performance better?

Wooden gates need a lock that’s up to the task.

Enter the Locinox H-Wood — a robust insert lock designed specifically for timber gates. With a 33mm stainless steel hook and an adjustable latch bolt, it combines reliability, durability, and Locinox precision in one neat package.

Plus, with different handle and colour options, you can customise it to perfectly match your gate.

Silver or black finish? Which colour and handle combination would you choose for your gate?

If you could improve the quality of the products you buy — and the service you receive — would you change supplier?

Change is different… and we don’t always like different.

Change takes effort… it’s easier to stick with what you know.

But what if different is better?

What if change saves you hassle?

What if change saves you money?

Do you know what lock is on your gate?

It’s not something most people think about — until it matters.

When choosing a gate lock, it’s not just about keeping things secure. It’s about how it works day to day. Do you want something simple and mechanical? Or something more modern, like a battery-operated lock with keypad access?

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer — it depends on how you use your gate and what matters most to you.

That’s where we come in.

At TFS Direct, we don’t just supply locks — we help you understand the options. Whether you’re upgrading your current gate or starting from scratch, we can guide you towards a solution that suits your property and how you live.

Because the right lock isn’t just about security — it’s about convenience, reliability, and peace of mind.

Not every gate closer is built the same — and the Tiger proves it.

No arm. No fuss. Just a clean, controlled close every time.

It’s easy to see why so many fabricators are turning to the Locinox Tiger, especially when you want something discreet that’s not going to be an easy target for damage or tampering.

But it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution.

The Tiger works alongside the Puma hinge, and both need to be set up within a specific gap and perfectly in line. Get that right, and you’ve got a seriously effective closing system. Get it wrong, and it won’t perform as it should.

That’s why it really comes into its own on new gates — where you can control everything from the start.

Thinking of switching things up on your next gate?

Simple, reliable, and built to last — it’s easy to see why the Borg Locks UK 3000 series is such a popular choice.

Whether you’re installing for a customer or fitting a lock at home, it ticks the boxes: straightforward to install, designed for outdoor use, and easy to live with day to day.

The ECP feature (on-gate code changing) is a big advantage too — no need to remove the lock just to change the code, which saves time and hassle.

Add in a fully mechanical design, and you’ve got a lock that does exactly what it should, without overcomplicating things — ideal for domestic side gates where reliability matters most.
