Anyone got pictures of security devices they have made. I want to make up a remove able post but one which is stronger than the rubbish the shops sell. Also i want the bit left to be tyre friendly when turning into the driveway
Also I need ideas on how to secure my double gates. Was thinking along the lines of a bar whic threads through a metal bracket on each gate then padlock on the end of the bar so can't slide out again.
Any input or pics would be great cheers Ben

I looked into the post idea but what with the amount of burglaries and threats that seem to be occurring now, I decided against the idea. If someone is going to burgle your house for your car keys, they will try and find your post keys as well and God forbid you are in the situation where they actually threaten you for your keys, they will threaten you for the keys to the post as well hence my keys are in a secure area and my car gets blocked in with another car.
Securing the gates sounds like a better idea than a removable post.

What shop do you get yours from rod?
Pani k- i know what you mean but I've never heard of that sort of violence in my area of Kent. Really I want the post to stop people reversing and parking on my drive area and the gate lock to mainly stop the gates from blowing in the wind and the wind smashing the boards where the stupid little bolt is which come with the gates and also any extra security is a good thing
Cheers

Problem with that gate is that someone could potentially jump over that, lift the lower bolts and, pushing hard, should be able to pop that upper bolt out of its location quite easily. I would have bigger latch on that if it were mine instead of the cross-bolt.

Also with the usual bolts on gates u can unscrew the keep bit in seconds and your in as the screws are vid able or others have said push gates. But can't find anything for sale which would brace both gates so need something made up.

Cheers dojj but I meant the middle bolt on the centre of the gates.
On your idea you can either burr over the end of the bolt or put a spot if weld on like u have done to stop them but as mine are wood I don't have same hinges which aren't a problem. Cheers

I like this. Looks secure. Could put dome headed bolts on outside so can't undo them
http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/vie...id=75728095352
Any other ideas like this. Found some hasp and staples as well but the keep was only small so would need a bigger one welded up
Got this on them at monent which is rubbish.

you twat ![Surprised](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/bigcry.gif)
the weld is all good but they were on about it being lifted off it's lugs and off in a hurry which is why i posted the picture of the complete hinge/swing thing to show that the lug has a hole drilled through it with a bolt with the snap off nut on it to prevent this from happening
