If anyone can answer this question for me because I'm going to be installing one myself tomorrow so need a quick answer: I have a fence with a thickness of 2¾" (70mm) and concerned that the thickness will exceed what the template shows in the diagram of 50mm. So will it still work?
I’m sure you figured it out, but I would have just aligned the template on the closing side, not worrying about the side facing outwards. That way it would work just like a thinner gate.
Finally someone that puts a proper door handle on a gate. I have had quite a few fence quotes where the installers looked at me funny when I said I wanted a legit door handle like I had already installed.
I like this design and would like to make one myself. Just curious to know if this still closes properly with it being an outside door. Seems likely that the wood will expand or contract and create some issues with the door latching properly over time
The fence/gate is 2 meters tall, and the lock is 1m from the ground. If you can get up the fence/gate high enough to reach down and open the gate, then you can probably hop the gate/fence anyway.
It's not going to stop a determined burglar, who would just climb over the fence. What it would do, however, is put off any dodgy neighbours who might enter your yard to use your bins or let their dog use it as a lavatory. Basically, keep out any troublemakers. The main advantage for the owner is that it's keyless. No fumbling about for keys.
Fantastic video with very clear instructions. You show how everything is done really well.
Thankyou very much.This sort of job can be a little bit daunting but is really quite easy. Hope it helps 🙏
Hi
Just wondering what size spade bit did you use to drill the hole for the latch? Thanks
The tools should be listed in the description box
It doesn't say what size, it just has a pack of. Sorry to be a pain
@@danhughes8338 Sorry i cant remember but it will be 1mm or 2mm wider than the latch

@@Dannyryan73 I ended up using a handy man :p
@@iamski that’ll do!
Excellent, just what I was looking for. Great tutorial pal 👍
Great to hear! Hope it helps
Making a complicated job look easy, I need to try and do a new gate first and then I'll try this. Where in the UK is best for gates to custom size?
Youll need to go to your local fencing supplier
I was struggling with setting the password and this video was the best (of several) explanation! Thank you!
When buying theses locks check the latch back set measurements and then your lock will sit in the middle of the timber frame and not to one side
Cheers

Often clients dont want it but i do recommend it. This was my own gate so i was always going to do it.
Thanks 🙏🏻 useful information
😊
you made it so simple and easy
Thankyou mate. Im doing something right then 👍
Hey man. Great video. By yourself, without worrying about filming, how long would this take you d’yathink?
Hi was wondering if the door locks from the outside automatically once closed and stays u locks on the inside , thank you
Great job in explaining this 💯💯

The door itself might need some adjustment over time.
Brilliant 🤩 thanks 😊
What is the brand
Does the lock automatically lock from the outside when it’s closed?
I have a metal fence. How would you do it?

You didn't show how the combination works, what you do to get in from the outside
Lol.
Hey mate! Any chance sharing required gap for this lock? Thanks
He said 5mm in the video
Is it just me that thinks what is the point🤷♂️. Surely people can just lean over the fence to open it.
