As a matter of fact, yes. Solid brass barrel bolt. After experimentation and not liking to spend money on things that seem so mundane, I have found they work the best and are almost indestructible in the garden setting. The galvanized plate beneath is a Simpson Strong Tie product.

We have two (lavatories, not doors) and they have locks with keys. And extractor fans. :giggle:
My parents house still has a ground throw system albeit chromed rather than brass. And back when I was in the Scouts one had to whistle or hum loudly to avoid interruption :wondering: otherwise the surprise would be sprung upon you, which neatly brings us back on topic. :D

I knew someone who was really keen on farm machinery, but then he lost interest.....
So I suppose you could say he is an ex-tractor fan....... :rofl:

Ok, OK, I am REALLY sorry for that one - it's late and I should go to bed! ;)
