Hello, I'm hoping you can offer some expertise here...we make gate hardware. We often sell customers deadbolts to lock their gates, and have been asked dozens of times this year if we have a deadbolt that fits a "thick" gate. Generally they mean 4 or 5" thick. Up until now we've always said no.
We have a machine shop at our disposal, and have come to the point where we want to try to modify a standard deadbolt to fit a thick door/ gate. Before we start working on it, I thought I'd post to see if you have any suggestions or cautions about doing this?
Thank you! Jana
