Hey all,
just designing a new gate and have hit a mental block.
the gate will be a metal frame likely 1 1/4" steel tube with wood face attached so it will look like a wood fence but sill be strong.
This will be a dual swinger, so i will need at least one j-bolt to hold it in the center.
The issue i am working is how to build the latch and locking mechanism.
I want it to keep the 2 sides together in both directions. meaning front to back and side to side that way it cant be pushed open.
Any thoughts? Pictures?
