Quoted:
Why not use two diffrent locks, so HE cannot open your lock. you never know when you might want to lock him out and need your own lock.
Then just keep a key for his lock?
You are the one handing out keys, no need to give them all away.
Really the only reason to have the gate locked (the gate leading to his property) is so no one can access our property from another entrance leading to his property. We have recently had people come by our house (1/4 mile + from the main road) that are neither his bunch or anyone we know. the only traffic through here should only be his people. Both of our land is landlocked, his is the farthest from the highway. Although there is another small rut road that leads to the back side of his property from another dirt road
I ran off some young kids (16yr or 17yr olds) twice already. Im thinking its just a matter of time before someone comes in behind our house and robs it while we are gone. The locked gate would help out with that.
My two concerns are security and utilizing all of my property for live stock.
