Just wanted to say I'm glad you're leaving the video up despite putting the brackets in the wrong place. I was sat there feeling so confused thinking how the heck that was supposed to stop people opening the draw bridge 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Made me smile & shows we all make mistakes That's just the sort of thing I would do
Hi Leo, it's worth noting that the screw which secures the barrel is often (?usually) a Phillips screw, not Pozi,. As these often corrode a little in the barrel and can be very tight to remove if you need to change the barrel it's helps if you haven't damaged the head using a Pozi screwdriver. Great progress. I have all my cylinders keyed alle so I don't have to carry a bunch of keys or always end up at the door with wrong key. Mike
Quick question about the break easy lock. If someone does break the break easy lock to prevent them getting in. How are you going to get into the workshop? Does that mean you'll have to break down the door and replace the door?
I thought about this before fitting it Dafydd. I think insurance plays a fair part in this. I’ve an excess to pay if a door is broken into and the locks (and the door if necessary) is replaced. Plus it wouldn’t affect my no claims if this happens. I think insurance companies are much happier for whatever reason sorting those out, than paying out thousands of pounds for stolen equipment / contents of the workshop 👍👍
@@Hand-i-Craft that a fair point. Will defo put on my workshop, but thinking about the house, if the front and back door both had these locks, and someone tried to break in when on holidays, then coming home in the rain at night (as it usually does in Wales) and finding you can't get in to the house is going to be a mega pain. But at least your contents will be safe.
crazy that they use the keyless on the inside.that means they dont need to break the lock.just break the window and unlock from the inside.im not knocking you though pal,i love how you get these projects done with just one hand.great video
I know pal, it’s a bit crazy. As I said in the video, if someone wants to break in they will. Tbh I don’t know if that latch works if it is locked from the outside🤷♂️. I guess it still does but I could be wrong
@@Hand-i-Craft The inside latch will highly likely still function. For the drawbridge door, probably best you padlock the ramp to the 3x2. Also metal lip around the ramp edges to detour someone just using a reciprocating saw around the edge cutting the tower bolts. Maybe best to board over the window aswell and use a different style of lock on the main door. Great content. Just not the best making your security known to all of youtube.
@@eds_wood_projects7719 Thanks Jedi. A subscriber pointed out to me that the lock I fitted was the wrong size as it stuck out a bit on the outside when it should be flush to the casing, so I ordered a replacement and opted for the standard lock on the inside and not the catch type. I take your point about basically explaining how my workshop is secured, but I reference it in the video they aren’t designed to deter a determined thief. My door install video was an old UPVC door which suggests the old style lock. What I’ve done here is show I now have a slightly better lock than I did. If a couple of folk are turning up with reciprocal saws they are getting in no problem. If someone is fence jumping through gardens looking for an easy option, they may now just pass on mine and move on to the next house 🤷♂️🤞👍
@@Hand-i-Craft Your new door barricade bar and the other style lock in your new video you posted since this one looks way better. You do amazing things. Your new shed looks awesome. Enjoy yourself and i hope to enjoy watching you going forwards as i have been for nearly 2 years. Thank you. Take care.
Funny you should say this Dave, I just fixed some very substantial steel L brackets to the frame today for the air filter and I used some coach screws I had left over from the wall assembly. Will see if I’ve any more and change them up for the drawbridge brackets 👍👍
Cheers Barry. I needed to on this one as the door handle was really stiff as it hadn’t been used in a long time. Good to get a bit of WD40 in there as well 👍👍😀😀
Very easy locks to change but they are only as strong as the weakest screw, I did think when watching the brackets needed to be fitted to door we all make silly mistakes that's life nice to see you left it in though 😂😂
😂😂😂😂I was so blissfully unaware whist doing it Rasmo😂😂😂. As I said in the video it hasn’t made it theft proof, but maybe has put the opportunist thief off🤷♂️👍
Love your workshop, Sorry to say, but you have installed the wrong size lock - should be flush with the handle on the outside (looks like it should have been a 40-40 maybe). I guess the factory fitted original barrel was replaced with an incorrect sized one at some stage.
Thanks Steve for the information. Yes it was the same size as the one I took out so must have been another mistake in the past. Does it make any difference security wise or is it purely aesthetic?
@@Hand-i-Craft I was going to say the same thing, your lock can be opened with a hammer that breaks the screw, should be flush, saying that i have done the same thing with my front door
@@Hand-i-Craft Hi Leo. 'Designer- Garb' is correct - a well aimed whack with a 5lb lump hammer breaks the central holding screw. While it’s impossible to make the workshop total thief proof - it would be well worth your time fixing a couple of permanent bars on the lower door panel (a good boot will pop it out - a major flaw with non-composite doors).
Hi Leo. I don't think that you have the brackets in the right place. They should surely be on the door to stop it going outwards?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Of course they should!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Oh dear, best get that sorted pal👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
@@Hand-i-Craft Are you going to pull the video before too many people spot it?
I was about to say the same thing lol
No I’ll leave it on mate, only human 👍😀. Just moving them now before the night king turns up😂😂😂👍👍👍
Going to keep it on pal, hopefully give a few folk a chuckle about how stupid I am at times 😂😂😂👍👍👍
🤣 well done for leaving it in Leo 👍 - I watched this when having my early morning cuppa and thought something wasn't quite right, but not sure what 😂.
😂😂😂😂I was caught up in the moment pal that it was lovely and level😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂 I know you have corrected the brackets now, but it did make me laugh when you were screwing on the brackets, and I was shouting at the screen!
😂😂😂😂😂😂. I was so happy with myself Tony that they were perfectly level I completely managed to ignore the fact they were totally useless😂😂😂😂😂😂
Easy as, who would have thought!
She's definitely a whole lot more secure than before.👌🏽
It's called, work smarter not harder, nice job buddy.👍🏽
Thanks Bill and the drawbridge is definitely more secure now I’ve moved the brackets to where they should be and not where I put them 😂😂😂😂😂
Just wanted to say I'm glad you're leaving the video up despite putting the brackets in the wrong place. I was sat there feeling so confused thinking how the heck that was supposed to stop people opening the draw bridge 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Made me smile & shows we all make mistakes
That's just the sort of thing I would do
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Was so happy with myself it was level, blissfully unaware it was totally useless😂😂😂😂
@@Hand-i-Craft well you made me laugh so its all good.
Hi Leo, Just wondering the reason for the barricade. Can the drawbridge hinge inwards as well as outwards?
I think it’s more to do with me being an idiot Rob and putting the brackets in the wrong place 😂😂😂😂
@@Hand-i-Craft No Leo. There but for the grace of god.....etc

Dohh! 😱
😂😂😂😂😂👍👍👍👍👍👍
It's all been said about the bracket location, nice and level though :-)
Perfectly level Kevin, but totally useless😂😂
Have you thought of putting 1 coach bolt through each bracket. If anyone tries to push drawbridge in the screws will not stand a chance of holding.
Funny you should say this Dave, I just fixed some very substantial steel L brackets to the frame today for the air filter and I used some coach screws I had left over from the wall assembly. Will see if I’ve any more and change them up for the drawbridge brackets 👍👍
You were not too bothered about security, it was more about having fun with your castle😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂Especially when it’s pointed out to me the barricade is of no use whatsoever because of where the brackets are😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@Hand-i-Craft Yep but 2 more brackets fastened to the inside of the drawbridge would fix that. You just hadn't finished that's all.😋
Most of the time, you don’t need to loosen off the handles to replace the barrel.
Cheers Barry. I needed to on this one as the door handle was really stiff as it hadn’t been used in a long time. Good to get a bit of WD40 in there as well 👍👍😀😀

You’re not stupid Leo we have all done something similar and felt a bit foolish.
I just burst out laughing when Wil was the first to point it out. Maybe I wanted the would be thieves to do a limbo dance instead 🤔😂

@@designer-garb572 Cheers pal, will return and get the correct one. Just measured and it’s 5mm too long on the outside👍👍👍

Thanks Steve. I’ve ordered a replacement lock which will hopefully be the correct size and will sort some door bars out. Cheers for your advice 👍👍😀😀
That lock change didn't take long.
Couple of minutes Ben and that was one handed having not done it before! 😀👍
@@Hand-i-Craft Yes. Not the biggest job you've done. Good to know it is so easy.
