Linear 2520-049 Electric Swing Gate Lock 115VAC
The Linear 2520-049 electric swing gate lock is a heavy-duty locking assembly for swing gate applications where the gate leaf needs a controlled lock point at the closed position. It is supplied for 115VAC lock applications and includes mounting hardware intended for a 3-inch post, with the lock housed in a heavy gauge steel case. This type of lock is often used on commercial or higher-security swing gates where wind load, gate weight, traffic conditions, or security requirements make a simple operator hold-close force insufficient. Correct installation matters because the lock has to align cleanly with the gate, release before the operator begins to move, and avoid putting side load on the actuator or gate arm. A mismatch in voltage, post size, gate stop layout, or control timing can cause nuisance lock failures, blown controls, or gate binding.

Technician Note
Electric swing gate locks must release cleanly before gate movement. Check lock alignment, gate stops, hinge condition, and control timing so the lock does not bind or hold the operator under load.
Before Ordering
- Confirm the manufacturer part number on the existing part or parts diagram.
- Compare the product function, mounting style, wiring, and included components to the current installation.
- Do not assume similar-looking Linear, OSCO, or Linear PRO Access parts are interchangeable.
- Verify 115 VAC lock power and control timing.
- Check post size, lock alignment, positive stops, and release clearance.
Professional Advisory
This product may involve high-voltage wiring or safety-critical gate operation. Installation, diagnosis, and final safety testing should be performed by a qualified gate technician.
Product Q&A
Is the 2520-049 a low-voltage gate lock?
No. Published Linear information identifies the 2520-049 as a 115 VAC electric swing gate lock.
What post size is this lock hardware made for?
Published descriptions reference mounting hardware for a 3-inch post. The gate and post layout should be checked before ordering.
Can this be used on any swing gate operator?
No. Use it only where the operator control circuit, voltage, lock timing, and gate geometry support this 115 VAC electric lock.
Why does lock alignment matter?
If the lock binds or does not release before gate movement, it can strain the operator, damage hardware, or prevent the gate from opening properly.
Who should wire this lock?
A qualified gate technician should handle high-voltage lock wiring, control timing, and safety checks.
