Locks and Latches
Product Details:
Litter Bin Locks and Latches for Secure External Infrastructure
Broxap’s Locks and Latches offering provides practical security options for external installations, including shelters, compounds and associated access points. Designed for durability and day-to-day use, these litter bin locks and gate locking systems help control access, reduce tampering risk and support safer operation in public and commercial settings.
The range includes straightforward mechanical options as well as more advanced locking systems where higher control levels are required.
Locking Options for Gates, Compounds and Outdoor Installations
Gates on Broxap shelters and compounds can be supplied with different forms of locking mechanisms to suit site requirements, from simple user-managed locking through to controlled-entry systems. This flexibility allows specifiers to choose a solution that matches the operational needs of the site, maintenance arrangements and level of access control required.
Typical uses include:
• Shelter and compound gate security
• Controlled access to storage areas
• Public and commercial external infrastructure
• Sites requiring secure but practical day-to-day operation
This makes the range suitable for projects where a waste bin lock, gate lock or latch system needs to be selected as part of a wider external security strategy.
From Simple Padlock Systems to Access-Controlled Locks
Broxap can provide locking systems ranging from heavy-duty hasp and staple arrangements, where users provide their own padlock, through to more complex access-controlled solutions such as proximity and swipe card operated locks.
Available lock types and approaches include:
• Simple hasp and staple systems
• User padlock-compatible options
• Mechanical lock systems
• Proximity-operated locks
• Swipe card-operated locks
This allows the locking specification to be matched to the expected frequency of use, user type and security level.
Bin Latches and Mechanical Locking Options
For projects requiring durable mechanical solutions, a range of bin latches and locks is available to suit different gate and access arrangements. These options are designed for practical operation in external environments and can be specified for routine maintenance and service access.
Standard mechanical features include:
• Heavy-duty hasp and staple
• Extended chain and padlock
• Industrial gate lock
• Mechanical code lock
• Sliding gate lock
These options provide a practical starting point for sites that need robust, low-complexity locking hardware.
Available for Hinged and Sliding Gate Applications
Locking options are available for both mechanical hinged and mechanical sliding gates, supporting compatibility across different shelter and compound layouts. Broxap can also provide additional locking options on request where site conditions or access protocols require a more specific solution.
Application compatibility includes:
• Mechanical hinged gates
• Mechanical sliding gates
• Additional locking options available on request
• Electrical hinged and sliding locks (including keypad, swipe card and proximity locks)
This flexibility supports specification across a wide range of Broxap shelter and compound configurations.
Replacement Bin Lock and Upgrade Options for Existing Sites
Where existing external infrastructure requires upgraded security, this range may also support replacement bin lock or latch requirements as part of maintenance, refurbishment or access-control improvements. Upgrading locks and latches can help extend the service life and usability of installed assets while improving operational control.
Potential project uses include:
• Security upgrades to existing shelters or compounds
• Replacement or improved locking arrangements
• Standardisation of locking types across a site
• Improved service and maintenance access control
This makes the range useful for both new projects and ongoing asset management programmes.
