9 years9 yearssoggsogg posted:

It must be a seperate latch assembly?
I dont see how the paradigm lock could catch seeing as it doesnt seem to have a spring behind the bolt?

Hey Deefeez,

Yep, Id be saying either do it as the drawings or refund me the whole amount. No excuse for it not being done properly.

Ours was $2619, that was 1meter high dwarf wall rendered and then 700mm high modwood decking. Is this how yours was supposed to be?
