It's been six months since I broke ground on my workshop build, now just finishing off bits and pieces.
My current quandary is the lock on the door. I want a key pad lock, allowing friend's to have access with a code rather than a key (may add a dead lock for when I'm away) but all the ones I've seen have a max door thickness of 65mm. My door comes to 72mm - 45mm frame (to fit insulation) , 19mm t&g cladding externally and a 9mm Ply skin internally.
Am I right in thinking that the max thickness for the door is set by the length of the square bar that goes through linking the three lock parts?
If my workshop was set up, I'd look at welding a bit into the bar to extend it, but can one just purchase a longer bar, or do I have to find a lock specifically for thicker doors? If so, any linkies you could provide would be greatfuly received.
Cheers
