What Customers Are Saying
The product has mixed reviews. While some found it easy to install and appreciated the added security, many reported issues with the lock's performance in windy conditions, including the lock not properly releasing or engaging, causing the gates to get stuck. Compatibility problems with certain gate systems were also noted, requiring additional modifications. The lock's latch design was considered not secure enough, as it could be easily bypassed. However, the lock was satisfactory for some when installed correctly and in calm weather, helping stabilize the gates. Overall, the product has significant limitations that make it unsuitable for many customers' needs.

This product is not safe, it can prevent you from getting out of your property or into your property or
It is almost impossible to get the zombie lock dialed in perfectly. Hours have been spent and trying to get it to work, it will work sometimes, and then does not work other times. My wife has been unable to get into our property at least three times and unable to get out Twice. The problem is when the gate closes, it bounces backwards, a couple of times, and the zombie lock will lock before it is fully closed, then when you try to open it, it will open up about 2 feet stop, lock itself out and b...

Installed it on a double gate. Works well and should keep the dogs from getting out.

thought it came with the clamps for the tubular gate but I had to purchase them separately.

Functions as described, as long as purchaser understands its intented function and limitations
Concept is great for keeping people from pushing through the gate (it will keep an honest man out but isn't foolproof) or having the wind blow it open. We actually purchased a Ghost Controls system after our previous opener (different manufacturer) was damaged during severe weather. We're very happy with how GC operates I think there are ways the ZombieLock could be improved and we'll very likely apply some redneck engineering to address the areas that could be better, but overall we're satisfie...

Easily installed. Easily bypassed by reaching into the pawl area with your finger. A couple fabricated brackets had to be made to make it more secure. That being said, it works as an electronic latch perfectly.
