You can buy security screws

 

JEEEEEEEZZZZZZZ! i think that's a tad too much.
i need to sort the sheds out too but to pose another obstacle at the gate would help save my pots and garden furniture

 

What about a twin slider or front door ?

 

cool... it's knowing the names/terms for stuff that i've been mostly struggling with. so i need a long throw gate lock with security screws

is it something i could fit myself?

 

would still have the problem of how to lock it :/

 

@Geordie is a specialist gate whisperer/ peg maker/ tarmacer

 

Are they the ones that the heads feck up when screwing in ?

 

Security screws or shear bolts would do the job.

On mine the gate is thick enough that the mechanism is affixed on the inside via wood screws and only the round lock bit is visible on the outside.

Just enough of a deterrent to put off the opportunist scrote but probably wont put off the determined burglar. For protection against the latter I recommend a big dog.

daft 'un!

 

We go out front door n lock back door , bike put round front before you go simples

 

would have to take bike through the tiny house as i live in a terrace... and the back is the nearest to village/town/ moors etc

 

where the big hole in the wall is (top), the gate is less than 1/2" thick. suppose i could plant another bit of timber on?

the funny shaped metal thing would be better to use but don't think it comes out far enough for bolt catchment

 

Achilles needs rest save money guard gate with sledge hammer

 

Fix from the back drill hole for lock barrel/escutheon

 

ooh, i do have a mighty fine selection of sledgehammers (different sizes), lump hammers and mallets

but not sure i fancy sitting up night after night

 

When you paint use anti climb paint like you see on a lot of public buildings

 

Barn, the slots in the screw are only for taking the screw out. Hammer for fixing 'em

 

Bugger.... just opened shed with only two hinges out of three fixed... now only one centre one

I give up. Somebody wake me when my charmed life begins
