Door Lock

[MarkW7]

I need to sand a bit of the side so the door will shut 100%.

Hair?

Lock?

Is that not a canal?

Ah, dang - my door won't shut 100%, shall i sandpaper till it does - What grit do i need.

Lapping your door eh?

It's a lock. Allows boats to go up and down water levels. Big doors hold the high water back, boat goes in. Doors behind close, doors in front open, water level goes up, boat goes out.

I have used a door planer before, but never sanded to fit, I'm sure the effect is much the same. Make sure the sand paper is wrapped around a large sanding block otherwise you'll end up with a wonky finish.

Sanding the door will take forever. The only tool you would use for fitting a door lock out of those you have bought is the chisel.

Use a plane

 

[I get around]

I knew i wanted a lock, but i didn't know what type of lock and advice. Jees, don't like it - please don't post.

Soap? on a door?!

"Any ideas on what the best solutions is, needs to be lockable from the inside and outside."

You clearly did know what type, if you'd gone to the shops before posting you would have found the correct type of lock. It just makes me despair the way people don't have a try before they ask about the most obvious of things.

 

[Coldzero]

A lock with a key?

 

[Mat]

How about a loch with a monster! Super security!

 

[Kutter]

If one of my joiners tried to use sandpaper instead of a plane to fit a door i,d sack him lol

 

[Hitman_Leon]

Use a plane

Won't work, he will crash and burn in such a small space .

 

[MarkW7]

How much would you recommend spending on a Plain?
