We took a trip to Palomar College in San Marcos, California to modify latches for several modern garage doors for a newly constructed building used to train students in the field of auto engineering and body repair.We shortened the latches by 2? to make sure they did not protrude too far from the frame of the door. We then MIG welded the latches back into place and finished by grinding any sharp edges on the brackets to ensure these were no longer going to be a hazard.
