Having just had a neighbour's break-in (keys to car stolen, nothing

caught on camera several quite open casing-the-joint forays into our
between
the houses passageway (my Audi's next, apparently), we've just had a
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
skill - but I
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.


This is a job for the uk.d-i-y angle grinder. Use it to take the corners
off the nuts and bolts, so that a spanner can't grip them. You can use
it again if you ever need to remove them.

So can anyone else.

But would attract considerable attention
to themselves when doing that and there
are clearly surveillance cameras there.
