Two completely unrelated questions please.
A door latch no longer aligns properly with the hole. Not the dead bolt, just the locking door knob. The latch part sits about 1/4" below the hole as best that I can tell. The hole is integrated into a metal frame. So I need to somehow expand the hole further down by that amount. I guess I could either continue the vertical parts of the hole downward and then somehow bend in or punch out the lip that would sit horizontally. Or perhaps I could find a metal spade bit and extend the hole a lot further down. Anyway, any suggestions....there's a tool for everything. Maybe there is a tool for extending a hole in a metal frame? If not, should I look for metal blades for a jig saw or reciprocating saw or something?
I would like to cover the top of a pallet (about 4' x 4') with something solid (doesn't have to be thick, merely to cover the openings) that is inexpensive ($5 maybe) and preferably rain resistant. Any out of box ideas? If at all possible I'd prefer not to go the sheet lumber route.
Thank you.
