High-Security Electromechanical Chain Link Fence Gate Lock. Heavy-duty construction for remote and/or manual key operation.
Application
The 8050 is a heavy-duty electromechanical lock for a swinging chain link fence gate. Standard electrical operation is by a 120VAC solenoid and manual operation is by a pin-tumbler key cylinder.
The 8050 is recommended for high security gate locking at institutional, industrial, commercial and governmental buildings.
The 8050 consists of a lock enclosure designed for fence mounting. A mating gate mounted strike enclosure serves to shield the lock front and bolt when the gate is closed. As a unique feature when the gate is closed, holes in the strike housing engage with studs in the lock enclosure providing an interlocked connection
between the gate and fence to prevent spreading.
All parts are of corrosion-resistant materials (i.e. brass, stainless steel, and galvanized steel). An integral lock status switch provides positive indication
of a deadlocked or unlocked bolt via a pilot light and/or alarm circuit.
Key operation is by either a commercial pin-tumbler or prison “Mogul” cylinder. This feature facilitates the use of owner-supplied cylinders keyed to an existing system. Specify one or two side (with key cylinder extension) keying.
After initial installation, caulking of the lock enclosure is recommended for weather proofing. Also, at installations subject to freezing conditions, a resistance-heating strip mounted to the internal lock case is recommended to prevent icing of the lock mechanism.
Standard Features
- Electric unlocking actuated by a 120VAC solenoid (10 amp in-rush, 1.2 amp seated).
- Manual key operation by a standard mortise cylinder (1-1/8” long) with “Yale” cam and furnished by either the factory or end user.
- One or two side keying – see optional factory key cylinder (FKC), and key cylinder extension (KCE).
- Lock status switch provides positive indication of a deadlocked bolt.
- Steel lock enclosure and mounting components with electroplated finish. Lock working parts are non-ferrous or stainless steel.
- Lock and strike enclosure mounting brackets are adjustable for 2-1/2” to 5” O.D. fence post and 2” to 4” O.D. gate post, respectively.
- Field wiring is to quick-disconnect plug for ease of installation and maintenance.
Standard Operation
With electrical control by a momentary switch, the lock bolt will retract (unlock) when power is applied. The latch will stay in the retracted (unlocked) position until the gate is opened when it will project and the gate can be closed and deadlocked automatically. Mechanical unlocking by key at all times.
Optional Features
- Factory supplied key cylinder (FKC) – specify standard mortise or Mogul
- Key cylinder extension (KCE) – required for two sided keying or for key operation on fence post side opposite the lock mounting. Specify outside diameter of fence post (4” O.D. minimum required). Consult Strongbar if fence post outside
diameter is not 4".
- Motor operation (M) – specify for maintained switch control when a gate is to be unlocked (i.e. latch bolt held retracted) for extended periods
Available Voltages
