If you need a powerful bolt to the garage door, it is not necessary to buy it at exorbitant prices - you can make it yourself from improvised materials.
In this case, the appearance of the mechanism fades into the background, since the deadbolt is mounted from the inside of the garage and is hidden from prying eyes. Therefore, there will be no problems with the choice of materials.
For the manufacture of this homemade product you will need a piece of an inch pipe, as well as a piece of steel bar with a diameter of 20 mm. It will also be necessary to make a stud out of a hairpin.
The main stages of work
First, the master cuts a piece of an inch pipe 250 mm long (you may have a different size). Then you need to mark the center, and make two more marks on both sides - at a distance of 40 mm from it.
Next, in the pipe it will be necessary to make a slot 80 mm long, and in the crossbar you need to drill a hole and cut the thread in it.
At the last stage of work, it is necessary to make a screw from a segment of a stud and a piece of a metal bar, which is then screwed into the hole drilled in the crossbar. Then the bolt will only be welded to the gate.
