Garage Door Latches....
Ozark Huckleberry replied to Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
If I was using the garage just as a utility shed, I'd probably forego the garage door opener, as well. But all it takes is one time of pulling up to the house in a drenching Florida rain to appreciate having the little electric motor to crank the door up for me. Re the 'old school' double-sided latch -- seems to me there's not a lot of point to the extra mechanism/installation hassle, especially with a single-width garage door. On a related note, with the way most garage doors are made up these days, it seems you'd need some kind of solid filler (a wood block, maybe?) to give the lock something solid to keep it from being ripped out of the door. - Today

I love my garage door opener, I’ve had it forever. I have no man door just a small window but if the power goes out I have a key to disable the pull for the opener. I’ve had the motor replaced once and springs once. Not bad for over 50 years! -
I deleted my email a few weeks ago . I just deleted again today. I'm the only one that can edit my profile correct?? Thanks. I will keep an eye on it.

TW can breathe a sigh of relief. The speed demon of the Burt Bunch will be on the sidelines for this match. TW should have no problem beating up on an old two handed shooter. -

I've been using electric garage door openers for 40 plus years; my only disabling failures have been due to a lightning strike and a broken spring; pretty darn good reliability, as moving parts go. You do not need to carry a key; just install a touch pad on the overhead door frame. I'm a Luddite too; but some electro-mechanical devices are just too useful to ignore; even the Amish use power tools. LL -
Trying to fast at shooting duelist

Ya know - a couple of my companies are exploring A.I. for social media creation and automated responses. I initially skimmed the post the first time, but reading this post again - it reads almost EXACTLY like an Artificial Intelligence created ChatGPT style posting. And if you read it ALOUD - there is no doubt it is a generated post. Im having my doubts that our "friend" with a whole 5 posts actually exists. -

+ as many as Widder wants. I have said this for "all the years" Speed is INFINITELY more difficult than accuracy. If you do everything correctly - you WILL hit the target; do everything exactly the same again and you WILL hit the target again. Accuracy (at least at "normal" people distances) is a trainable, repeatable skill - it is a SCIENCE. Speed is an ART. It is incredibly difficult to train another person to "go fast". Many, whether for fear of crashing, failing or "safety" have an internal limiter that they simply refuse to go beyond - they cannot or will not exceed a certain percentage of their ability. A number of folks on this forum have years of experience; boxes of trophies and many a story of trainwreck - the scars of which we wear just as proudly as the buckles on our belts. These are the folks whose "opinions" I seek out when I am exploring improvement. -

"....... pinpoint accuracy". I don't know where you shoot, but "pinpoint accuracy" ain't exactly a big requirement when shooting at 18" square targets at 6 yards. ..........Widder -

I remember him in Norco. One of the first EOT's there, I wasn't a SASS shooter yet, he came up to me and told me all about SASS.

Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 replied to Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
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" -
