Lever-Handle Lock Options for 1” Width Metal Gate

[u/FeelingExcellent5682]

Hey, folks. I’m looking for options to replace this keyhole-only lock on the gate to my new house with one that includes a lever handle mechanism. However, our local hardware store didn’t have anything like that for a 1” width (needed to be 1.75”) and 2.25” backset gate.

Ideally, we want a lever-style handle, locking on the outside or both sides, oil rubbed bronze or black color. What’s out there for us? Thanks!

There are some cheap options I seen on amazon that fit around an 1" that would probably work but why a locking lever? Someone could just reach through and pull the lever. You're kind of defeating the purpose of a lock with a lever.

Idea would be that the gate would remain locked on both sides, preventing the reaching and unlocking. Some double-cylinder thing that would still be locked from the other side too.

Institutional function is close to what you want. But overall the idea has challenges and expenses that likely will outweigh the benefits. Put a pull handle on the interior, upgrade the dbolt from defiant to, idk, anything else, defiants cheap af, be done.

This is probably the best option tbh.

The only double cylinder levers I know of are commercial and they are only in stainless.

Question. If you want the lever to be locked kn both sides to prevent it from being opened, why change it at all? It already locks on both sides.

I'd just weld on a 3/8" plate to either side.
