The workers' entrance. This gate will probably be locked out of use once the main gate (above) is in use, so there will only be one entrance to the site in regular use.

Excellent record shots. Nice to see Steve as gate keeper I think he will now officially reatin this post!

Now the question of fitting locks. What types, key alikes, the fitting of lock tunnels to prevent tampering with the locks on gates etc.

Steve is purchasing seven locks (like the Rovos gate locks), one for each of the seven gates, with the same key. We'll hand keys to our regular working members and make them sign for them.
