<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> LOL! We use a padlock and key, and
believe me, I understand what you say about being able to find the key! I
do not trust anyone to not open the gat and leave it open, or let a hound
out on their way in, even other bassets people. I am just that way
when it comes to these guys. We even put a security gate on the
front, not for any crime in teh area, more so to have a defense
against a hound slipping by. We live on a very busy street where people
routinely go 40-50 even though it is posted at 25.</FONT></DIV>

when a male dog came to gate she rattled gate open. I tried many things (kids
sometimes opened it too) so I put a<STRONG> padlock with key</STRONG> to keep
her home.</FONT></DIV>
