Finally the new padlocks with a key replacing the old combination locks have been fitted to the outer timber gates and the inner metal gate on the allotment.
It has to be said that the four digit combination locks proved to be a real pain in the arse, even the allotment officer spend 15minutes trying to get out of the allotment on a recent visit, not nice when its raining.
The slider didn't like the water and getting wet and it became hard to adjust the combination and get all four digits lined up to enable you to get in or out. The figures on the tumblers weathered really badly and were getting hard to see.
If you have an allotment, whatever you do, don't agree to going to combination locks, been there, done that, and never want to repeat it again!
