Hi,
I have a picket fence with two gates in it. The gates currently have an inside latch (which can be locked by padlock), and the front gate has a handle to open it from the outside (but only if unlocked).
I'd like to be able to lock both of these gates whenever they're closed, but I also want to be able to open them from the outside -- preferably using a combination lock, rather than a key lock.
So, simple question: What are my options?
Thanks!

I do not have an answer for you on the combo locks if you require access from both sides.
If somone cannot reach over/through the fence, you might be able to rig a rimlock or a specialized gate lock that uses a key.
