Linear Pro Access FM145 Bulldog Pedestrian Gate Lock
The FM145 Bulldog pedestrian gate lock is a self-contained access-control lock for pedestrian walk-through gates. It combines a lock assembly with keypad-controlled access so a pedestrian gate can be secured without relying on a vehicular gate operator. This makes it a useful accessory for pool gates, side gates, garden gates, service entrances, community amenity areas, and other pedestrian-only points where controlled access is needed. The lock is typically mounted horizontally and can be adapted to many metal tube and chain link gate styles when the gate and post provide enough clearance for the lock body and receiver. Because it is a pedestrian lock, it should be considered separately from the FM144 automatic vehicular gate lock. Before ordering, verify the gate material, gate swing, latch alignment, available mounting space, and whether a replacement keypad or accessory receiver would be more appropriate than a complete lock kit.

Technician Note
FM145 is for pedestrian gates. If the customer is trying to lock a driveway swing gate operator system, review FM144 instead and verify the operator lock output.
Before Ordering
- Confirm the gate is a pedestrian walk-through gate.
- Check available lock and receiver mounting space.
- Verify gate material and whether additional mounting hardware is needed.
- Confirm battery, keypad, and solar charging requirements.
- Do not substitute FM145 for a vehicular automatic gate lock.
Professional Advisory
Pedestrian gates around pools or restricted areas may be subject to local safety and access rules. A qualified installer should verify latch height, self-closing hardware, and code requirements where applicable.
