    Garage Door Latches....

    in SASS Wire Saloon

    Posted

    This particular garage doesn't lend itself to an "inset" pedestrian door, and there's no room in the front of the garage for another door.  Actually, there is a pedestrian door in back - I want access to the front for large stuff, like the riding mower, welding cart, boat motors and such.  :)

    So the latch set that @sassnetguy50 found might be the ticket - when looking at it I stumbled upon this one, which might bear consideration:  "Old School Garage Latch"

    I’d start with contacting a local garage door company who might be install one that locks & unlocks with a key and T-handle. 


    Just being nosy, but how come you don’t want electronic?

     

    Well, I don't park in the garage; just use the space for storage and tools.  So, if I'm doing yard work or other projects and need something, not only do I not want to have to truck through the house to unlatch a door from inside, I also don't want to find a remote - might be five times a day or once a week.  Plus, I'm not so feeble yet that I need to spend hundreds of dollars on motorized openers.  :rolleyes:

    So my two-car garage has two separate "sectional" doors.  Each of these doors is secured by a simple, sliding latch.  The doors cannot be opened from outside without first going through the house, into the garage, and sliding the latch to the "open" position.

     

    Might anyone have suggestions for a more civilized solution?  I'd like to be able to open the danged doors from either inside OR outside.  Directly.  Oh... and I have no interest in electronic openers.  

     

    Thankee!  ^_^

    VERY funny. And at 6' 2" she carried herself nicely - Miss North Carolina 1962.

     

    Sadly, we lost Jeanne three years ago - she passed just about two months after her husband, "Left Brain." 

     

    I've been enjoying her humor for a long, long time....

    I was at a Mine Safety Training one time where they showed a video of a guy over in India that was going to ride up on top of a train. He stood up and grabbed the electric power line. There was a "ZZZT!", a puff of smoke and he just collapsed, DRT. It used to be available on youtube, but I don't know if it still is.

     

    I've seen that one.  It was disturbing....

    I haven't been to a gun show in over a dozen years.  For good reason, evidently - it seems that other than the more recent primer debacle, not much has changed... the only thing missing from the above descriptions are T-shirts and beef jerky.  :mellow:

    Well, I've given my own guns plenty of names. And I hate tio name others' shooting irons, but let's go with "Ole Reliable" for his gun. 

     

    Nope.  Sorry, Cap'n, but that would make it a Sharps ~ which it obviously ain't.  :lol:

     

    Now, with THAT said, my first thought was that the "checkering" appears Remington-ish - sorta.  And the action does look Mauser-ish... but brings to mind the .300 Win Mag Ruger M-77 that I bought about fifty years ago.  Which, by the way, made a most effective ground squirrel gun;  150 gr BTHP coming outta the skinny end at around 3400 fps plumb vaporized them boogers.  :rolleyes:

    News article about a hunter who shot an "84 lb coyote" in lower Michigan ~ which turned out to be a grey wolf.  This picture was included; may or may not (likely not) be the rifle used.  So, just for the fun of it, can you identify said rifle?  :)
     
    (By the way ~ he is reportedly not being charged for shooting the wolf - which was where wolves weren't)  :rolleyes:
