620010 US Automatic Patriot and Ranger HD Lockable Manual Release Pin
The US Automatic 620010 lockable manual release pin is used on select Patriot and Ranger HD swing gate actuator assemblies where a secure, stainless release pin is required. In normal operation, the pin keeps the actuator mechanically tied to the gate bracket. When maintenance or manual gate movement is needed, the pin can be removed according to the operator instructions so the gate can be moved by hand after the gate is safely secured. The lockable feature adds a security advantage because it helps reduce unauthorized manual release of the actuator. This part is commonly used with heavy-duty US Automatic swing systems and is often serviced with 610536 washers, 610620 bushings, and the 620011 retaining clip. It should be matched to the original pin style; Ranger 500 pin references and Patriot/Ranger HD lockable pin references can overlap in some distributor listings but are not automatically the same hardware.

Technician Note
Replace worn hardware with the correct US Automatic part number rather than substituting a similar-looking washer, pin, spring, or bracket. Small differences in thickness, material, or geometry can affect actuator alignment and gate travel.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Confirm the US Automatic part number on the original part, manual, or parts diagram
- Verify the operator family and generation before ordering
- Compare washer thickness, bushing style, pin style, spring length, or bracket package to the original part
- Inspect related pivot hardware, clips, brackets, bushings, and actuator mounting points for wear
- For dual-gate systems, check whether one or both actuator sides need the same service part
Professional Advisory
Gate hardware should be serviced with the gate secured and power removed where appropriate. If the gate is binding, moving unpredictably, or missing required monitored safety devices, have the system inspected by a qualified gate technician.
Important Ordering Warnings
Manual release should be performed only when the gate is secured and safe to move by hand. Do not use release hardware to bypass required safety devices or correct a binding gate.
