Carbine Gate Guard for CDL7100 - Mounting Box - Black
The Carbine CGG-CDL7 is a purpose-built mounting box that lets Carbine CDL7 series digital locks be installed on metal gates. It is powder-coated stainless steel, adjusts to suit gate post sizes from 40mm to 65mm, and supports both 60mm and 70mm backsets.
Fitting a digital lock directly to a metal gate presents two problems: the gate frame is rarely the right thickness to accept a standard mortice lock, and the internal side of the gate is exposed to reach-through attacks. The CGG-CDL7 solves both. Its protective internal box prevents access to the lock mechanism from the inside of the gate, and its design is engineered to minimise the drilling and cutting required during installation. The CDL7 digital lock mounts directly to the gate guard without additional mounting plates.
The CGG-CDL7 is ambidextrous - it can be mounted for left or right hand gate configurations. The built-in handle stop prevents the lever from being over-rotated, protecting the lock mechanism during normal use. The strike plate is adjustable to compensate for gate sag, maintaining consistent latch engagement over time.
This listing is the CGG-CDL7 gate mounting box only. The Carbine CDL7 digital lock is sold separately and must be ordered to suit your application. The gate guard accepts the CDL71 and CDL72 locks (single and dual keypad variants), which mount directly to it with no additional plates. Choose the host lock from the Carbine CDL7 range:

Frequently Asked Questions
No. The CGG-CDL7 is the mounting box only - the CDL7 digital lock is sold separately. The gate guard accepts the CDL71 and CDL72 locks (single and dual keypad variants), which mount directly to it without additional mounting plates. Choose the correct lock from the Carbine CDL7 range linked at the top of this listing.
The CGG-CDL7 adjusts to suit gate post thicknesses from 40mm to 65mm. This covers the majority of standard aluminium and steel tubular gate frames used in Australian residential and commercial installations. If your post falls outside this range, the gate guard cannot be used and an alternative mounting solution is required.
The CGG-CDL7 is designed for metal gates. For timber gates, a different gate guard model is required. Contact us before ordering if you are unsure whether your gate material is compatible.
The CGG-CDL7 supports both 60mm and 70mm backsets. The backset is the distance from the edge of the gate to the centre of the latch bolt. Confirm which backset your CDL7 lock is configured for before installing - the gate guard accommodates both, but the lock and gate guard must be set to match.
The handle stop is a mechanical feature that limits how far the lever can be rotated past its normal operating position. Without it, a lever can be over-rotated under hard use or attempted forced entry, which can damage the internal mechanism of the lock. The built-in handle stop on the CGG-CDL7 protects the CDL7 lock from this type of damage in a gate environment where levers are often pushed hard.
Additional Information
This listing is for the CGG-CDL7 mounting box only. The CDL7 digital lock must be ordered separately. When ordering, confirm whether you need a single-keypad model (PIN entry from one side) or a dual-keypad model (PIN entry from both sides). Both variants mount directly to the CGG-CDL7 gate guard without additional plates.
Gates sag over time - particularly wider or heavier metal gates. As a gate drops on its hinge side, the latch and strike move out of alignment, causing the gate to drag or fail to latch fully. The CGG-CDL7's adjustable strike plate can be repositioned to realign with a sagging gate without replacing the lock or gate guard - a significant practical advantage in gate environments compared to a fixed strike.
The CGG-CDL7 is powder-coated stainless steel, built for the exposed conditions of an outdoor gate. Its protective internal box also serves a security purpose - it prevents reach-through access to the lock mechanism from the inside of the gate, a common vulnerability when a digital lock is fitted to an open gate frame.
