The myLock-Combination is a battery-free mechanical combination lock built for outdoor fence gates. It's made from 304 stainless steel with a brushed finish, uses sequential code entry for added security, and fits both left-hand and right-hand gates without swapping parts. Because it's fully mechanical, there are no batteries to replace and no app to manage. It's designed for Modern Yard gate frames and works for backyard, side-yard, pool, and garden gate access.

Modern Yard's myLock-Combination is a battery-free, outdoor-rated mechanical lock that requires sequential code entry, providing enhanced security without the maintenance overhead of electronic alternatives. It's part of the Modern Yard modular fence and gate system, which is built for professional contractors, fence dealers, and lumber yards across the United States. You can view full specifications and dimensions on the myLock-Combination product page.
What makes the myLock-Combination different from a standard gate lock?
Three features set this lock apart from the typical outdoor combination lock, and they're the reason to look past the basic spec list.
Universal Fit.
The same lock works on a left-hand or right-hand swing gate with no extra parts and no separate version to order. Most outdoor combination locks are handed, so you have to confirm your swing direction before buying. This one removes that step entirely.
Sequential entry.
The code must be entered in the correct order. That's a higher bar than standard mechanical locks, where any arrangement of the right numbers opens the latch. The lock offers 665,000 unique combinations.
Battery-free mechanics.
There's no battery to drain in cold weather and no circuit board to corrode in humidity. The lock works the same in January as it does in July, with nothing to charge or update.
The housing is 304 stainless steel at 3.27 lbs, rated for rain, UV, and corrosion across long-term outdoor use. Modern Yard backs the lock with a 25-year limited warranty, which you can review on the warranty and test reports page.
What's included, and what the lock fits
A clear boundary on fit and contents helps you confirm compatibility before you order.
What the myLock-Combination is built for:
Modern Yard aluminum gate frames, which come pre-drilled for this lock
Gate frame thicknesses from 1-1/4" to 1-7/8"
Outdoor exposure including rain, sun, and seasonal temperature swings
Left-hand or right-hand swing gates
What to confirm before buying:
On a retrofit gate, measure rail thickness against the 1-1/4" to 1-7/8" range
On a non-Modern Yard gate, plan for drilling since pre-drilled holes only come on Modern Yard frames
A combination lock bought on its own is not the same as a lock matched to a gate frame. A loose lock can sit at the wrong height or need drilling that throws off alignment. On a Modern Yard frame, the mounting holes are already there, so the lock arrives engineered for the frame it goes on.
Which backyard gates is this lock good for?
The myLock-Combination fits the everyday access gates around a property where you want keyless entry without a key to track or a battery to manage.
Use case | Why this lock fits |
Side-yard gate | 1 shared code for family and service crews, no key handoff |
Pool gate | Battery-free operation, nothing to fail mid-season |
Garden gate | 304 stainless housing rated for constant sun and rain |
Trash-area gate | Universal Fit mounts on either swing direction |
Contractor access | Code can be reset between jobs, 665,000 combinations |

Because the lock is matched to the gate system, it carries the same finish logic as the fence itself. Modern Yard gate frames accept the same infill as the fence, whether that's composite, aluminum slat, or fire-resistant steel, so the gate and lock read as part of the fence rather than bolt-on parts. You can see the coordinated systems on the fire-resistant steel fence and composite fence pages.
How does it install on a Modern Yard gate?
On a Modern Yard gate frame, the mounting holes for the myLock-Combination are pre-drilled, so there's no on-site drilling to position the lock. The frame is aluminum and fully welded, and the lock seats into the factory hole pattern. That keeps the lock at the correct height and alignment without measuring or guessing on-site.
Quick check. Confirm your gate frame thickness falls within 1-1/4" to 1-7/8" before installing. This is the range the lock is rated for, and matching it is what keeps the lock from feeling loose after mounting.
Step-by-step gate frame manuals and videos are available on the Modern Yard installation guides page, including the red wood and aluminum gate frame instructions that show how the lock mounts in context.
Set the code and confirm the fit
The myLock-Combination gives you keyless access with nothing to charge and a 25-year warranty behind it. Before you order, confirm your gate frame thickness against the 1-1/4" to 1-7/8" range and decide whether you're mounting on a Modern Yard frame or retrofitting. If it's a Modern Yard frame, the pre-drilled holes and Universal Fit mean most of the setup is already handled, and the only field step left is setting your sequential code. Modern Yard products are available through authorized dealers, including Master Halco, BMD, and Golden State Lumber.
