metal
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

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.

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.

Not hard to use a screw extractor.
