    Sliding door lock

    I work for a large lock company (ASSA ABLOY), and suggest you not use a direct pull mag lock as illustrated above. If you are determined on using a mag lock, use a shear type mag lock where the armature has small (anti) shear pins

    kitty litter- oil stains

    Try a little 100LL Avgas on the oil spot - use a paper towel to keep it wet for a few minutes and use a broom - when it dries the oil spot will be 95% gone. Obviously, be damn careful with the Avgas and flammability!! Don't bother trying this with unleaded car gas - won't do anything

    Building new garage - Ceiling height for lift?

    Probably not much operationally with proper air movement. I have one 220V 14' diameter BigAss Essence variable speed fan that moves a lot of air downwards in the 40x60x16 shop. The single propane forced air heater is in the corner behind the photographer.
