gate fitted. It's fine, quite substantial.

However, the latch and hinges are fitted with easy to remove hex nuts (fixing
the adjustable screw hinge) and bolts (holding the latch and hinge pins to
the
brick wall).

I'd drop a spot of weld to the various bits if I had the kit and skill - but

don't. Any recommendations for a supplier and type of secure nuts and bolts?
They don't have to be the last word in security - really, the padlockable
latch isn't that secure.

As well as dealing with securing the hex nuts, maybe consider something
like this to offer another visible and effective deterrent:

Yes, perhaps I should. Irony being my car is pretty much the least valuable on
the street (2007 Audi S3) . . .
