The NavKar Systems RML-8K is a weatherproof 12 V DC electronic rim lock with a stainless steel body, made for main metal gates and doors. This listing is the lock only. Connect it to your own 12 V DC lock supply or to a compatible biometric, RFID or password access-control system. To open the gate by remote, choose the Combo-CN231, which adds the lock supply and remotes.
Highlights
- Weatherproof stainless steel body. Built for outdoor main gates, in rain and sun.
- Key backup. A brass key cylinder with 8 keys opens the gate by hand during a power cut.
- Self-locking latch. The latch locks again by itself as the gate closes.
- Internal locking and dead locking. Lock from inside to stop unwanted exit, or keep the lock free.
- Neat from the outside. Only the key cylinder shows on the outer face of the gate.
- Fitting kit included. Cylinder ring, mounting plate and screws come in the box.
- Works with access control. Compatible with biometric, RFID and password systems through a 12 V DC controller or lock supply.

Install it in six steps
- Plan the position. Fit the lock on the inside face of the gate at a comfortable height. The strike goes on the gate frame, lined up with the latch.
- Fit the key cylinder. Drill through the gate, fit the cylinder from outside with the ring, then cut the tail to suit the gate thickness.
- Mount the lock. Fix the lock and mounting plate with the screws supplied. Close the gate and check that the latch enters the strike smoothly.
- Mount the supply indoors. Keep the supply on a dry wall inside the house, away from water, moisture and heat.
- Run the wires. Connect the lock to the LOCK terminals of your 12 V DC supply. Use the correct cable for the distance.
- Power on and test. Test the exit switch, remote or controller, and check that the key opens the lock too.
Safety first. Switch off mains power before wiring. Installation by a trained electrician is recommended. Mounting on a metal gate may need a welded plate.
Care and warranty
- Never leave the lock powered continuously. Power it only when opening, as the NavKar lock supply does with its 1 second inching.
- Wipe the lock with a dry cloth. Do not use acids or strong cleaners.
- Keep a spare key in a safe place inside the house.
- Not covered by warranty: physical damage, water damage, or a burnt lock coil from wrong wiring or continuous power.

Warranty terms: what is covered and what is not
Every NavKar Systems product carries a 1 year warranty from the date of purchase, with the bill. Please read these exclusions before you buy, so there are no surprises later.
- Lock coil: no warranty. The coil inside an electric lock is made to be energised for about one second. If the open button, exit switch or remote key is pressed and held for too long, the coil gets very hot and burns out. Many people press the button for too long, so coil failure is not covered by warranty. Press once, briefly.
- Power supply: no warranty for water damage or physical damage. The power supply (sold separately or in a kit) is for indoor use only. Water, rain, moisture, a fall, a crack or any other physical damage is not covered.
- All other manufacturing defects are covered for 1 year with the bill.
