a nice piece of 5/8 inch rod sourced from the scrap bucket and heated with the MAP torch....
until it is glowing red hot and soft enough to bend in the vice... a 90 deg bend one way...
then a 90 deg bend the other....and a few hammer blows on the corner of the anvil on the vice while hot tightens up the inside....
followed by some work with the file to make a sharp corner on the inside of the bend....
drill a hole in the door and tack on a couple of washers to keep it in place.....
et Voila..... she locks tight....
