I have a client who wants to control access to an outdoor pedestrian gate using UniFi Access. They specifically want the drop bolt form factor (like the UACC-Lock-Bolt-Safe) but that one is indoor only and available in july 2026.( the fail-secure version is not preferred)
Everything I find for outdoor gates is either a maglock or a bulky post-mounted unit — nothing with that slim rim-mount bolt style.
For those who've done outdoor pedestrian gate installs with UniFi Access:
- What lock did you end up using?
- Did you find anything close to the bolt form factor for outdoor/weatherproof use?
- Or did you go with a different lock type and just make it work with the controller?
Any real-world experience appreciated. Thanks
To clarify it is a metal gate door.
