Show me your locks...

Postby greenchicken » Mon Jan 14, 2019 1:35 am

Project that begun and is coming along nicely. Not ready to show any pictures yet.

Since I am making the door, I am thinking about locking options.

So I ask for any pictures of of the handles and locking of your home made TD Doors.

I used screen door latches I found on a specials table at the hardware. No key lock but will lock from inside. I came from tent camping where there are no locks anyway....ImageImage

I used a regular house door lock, but my door and walls are 1 1/2" thick.

Here is a low cost clever ideal. Start at 3:20

I used the same latch with a L handle(not a tee) Looked good, but the one side turn the wrong way. https://www.ebay.com/.../5-1-2-Black-L. ... 63785783...

Thank, but I want something with a minimal inside profile.

Same as aggie, only a little different door design on the inside, to make it a bit less protruding.ImageImage
