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

They don't have to be the last word in security - really, the padlockable
latch isn't that secure.

Thanks - drilling out the head of a large pozi screw would seem to be a crude
but effective solution . . .

Wonderful, until the inevitable time when *you* want to remove it.


Then you can drill it out, on that rare occasion when you might have
to. The crims won't bother to try anyway. If they want to get
through it then they'll use brute force if they think that would
do it.
