Pain & Ratchet
Pain
Hey Ratchet, got a minute to talk about building a quick, self‑contained barricade that can lock down an area if the worst comes to pass?
Ratchet
Sure thing! Grab a few 2‑inch bolts, some sturdy aluminum panels, and a lockable hinge. Weld the panels into a square frame, bolt the hinges on, then slide the panel in. Quick to set up, hard to break. Add a zip‑tie or cable lock on the hinge, and you’ve got a makeshift barricade that’s both lightweight and solid. Want a prototype sketch?
Pain
Sounds solid. If you run into any weak spots in the welds, add a little extra plate over the joint. Keep the hinge on the inside so it won’t swing out when someone tries to force it. Once you get it up, test the lock with a hammer to make sure it holds. Good work.
Ratchet
Thanks, that’s a solid plan! I’ll add the extra plate and double‑check the hinge spot. Will test the lock with a hammer right after assembly. Appreciate the tips!
Pain
Good. Keep it tight, and don’t let anyone slip past it. Stay ready.
Ratchet
Got it—tightening it up and keeping an eye on every inch. Stay on guard, and we’ll shut it down in a heartbeat if anything moves.
