I did this 20 years ago... i love it!!!!!!!!!!! to me so much safer. I had key lock on the outside.. and on the inside the turner like you would have in the house. That way in an emergency.. I could get out of the yard.. and anyone needing to come in would need a key. I laugh now.. several people I asked to do this for me thought I was crazy.. UNTIL they saw it done. I thank my room mate at the time Tim Leesley for getting the job done. I think we had it reversed.. the to unge going into the gate.. but either way works.. and you dont have to worry about pad locks.. I had mine keyed to match my security door. GREAT IDEA!
I just posted a similar video on my channel but instead of recessing the lock I used a 2x6 and had strike plates for the deadbolt to secure into the other side. This makes it more like an actual door if anyone is interested
Oops for the recess! a couple of tricks. Screw the small hole saw into the size you want to make bigger, like stack them together, it will guide the bigger saw in... Hole cut. Or cut a hole in a bit of scrap the larger size, place it over the smaller hole, clamp and use this as a guide for the bigger hole cut. I have no help if you want to drill a smaller hole that what you have drilled! :)
The part you put the key into is a “2 1/8 hole saw”, and the part you install into the side of the door is a “1 inch hole saw”. I don’t know what he used, but a “standard” doors is what I listed. Hope this helped.
ReaperXC there is actually a metal set ready made that has to be cut to fit in the frame and install the lock and dead bolt. Wrought iron supplys has it
Idiot, there is no time limit on a video. No expiration date silly. You obviously watched it 5 years later. You are one of those forum Nazi's that call out other people that are looking for help and make them feel bad.

Very cool, thought of doing this the other day because I'm tired of reaching over the fence ---- glad to see someone has done it before me!

Great info but you can also use some drills to make the project go faster😉
Won't open out when it's locked but you could sure kick it in pretty easy
Could add metal plate for added security.
search for " long throw gate mate lock " much easier to install. .

Any thoughts on how to make this work on a vinyl gate?
Would of been nice to say what size hole cutter and drill bit you used

You can get the lock jig online or at homedepot store that comes ready with the jog and hole saws
What about a steel gate frame? How would you install a deadbolt onto that?

Wow, take a pill.
I would’ve just changed that piece of wood to a 2 x 4
you should install a YARDLOCK on your next video.

don't hold your breath for a next video, all the existing ones are five years old.
If he does, maybe he'll use an exterior grade lock.

I know I did; so did don, but I'm not sure he noted the date. 👍
Why didn't you have it latch into a hole someone can just push the gate super hard forward and break all that shit
I heard about woodprix instructions good opinions.
Nope
You kind of ruin the meaning of extraordinaire when you spell it wrong!
