Hi Don,

I don't have an Elite greenhouse, however, with my greenhouse I've drilled a
hole in the top aluminium runner, to the left of the door when shut (but
this depends on which way your door opens). I then feed the shackle of my
padlock through this and snap it shut, preventing the door from being
opened. I also squirt a little oil in the lock to prevent it sticking
(although you can now get weatherproof padlocks).

HTH

Thanks, Nick, that sounds like just the thing for me. I'll look to see
if it will work on my greenhouse.

Perhaps you would give me your opinion on another matter on which I've
been posting to a DIY ng.
The erection instructions for my greenhouse say it should be anchored to
the ground by drilling through the steel flange on the base into the
concrete slabs on which it stands.
I can see that I will have trouble in getting the screws in as well as
drilling the holes. I've been provided with 10 x 2" wood screws & rawl
plugs to be placed three each side of the 8' x 6' base and two each end.
Since I can't budge the greenhouse with just the 3mm toughened glass in
the roof. I can't imagine the wind shifting it with the side glass
fitted as well. I'm wondering if there isn't a heck of a lot of overkill
here and how many gardeners do anchor their greenhouse down. My garden
is quite well sheltered by hedges and is on the leeward side of the
house..

Don. BTW great website, I'll be spending some time there
