Outdoor Door Hardware - Different Functions

4 years ago

Doing an outdoor project and we have various types of doors. Trying to get ideas from the community on best ways to open/close given the door type and function. Hopefully this also helps others!


Hot Tub Entrance Door - Thick single IPE wood door that opens outward for access to hot tub and outdoor shower. Wanted something pretty nice. Door will be shut most of time. Need to open from both sides. Went with this https://shop.360yardware.com/nero-contemporary-lever-gate-latch-build-your-own-package-nero.htm


Trash Enclosure - Opens outward. Need to access it fairly frequently to take out trash and dump stuff into the trash cans. Often carrying a bag in one hand when I need to put stuff in. Not worried about access from inside (only outside). For now, contractor put on simple gate latches. Easy to open with one hand...but not so nice. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-Black-Self-Adjusting-Gate-Latch-18591/202042259


Pool Equipment Shed - Have double doors that will open outward. Probably will want to open both at the same time...but not necessarily. Infrequent access (1x per week?). Best hardware to keep them closed and how to open?


Tool / .Storage Sheds - We have 2 5' wide by 8' tall sheds that will store various stuff. Double doors that will open outward. In between is a single 4' x 4' shed with double door that also opens outward. These might be opened a few times a week. Best hardware to keep them closed and how to open them?
