Subject: How to keep this endump tailgate closed and practical to open pic


Oregon
Hi i made a new tail gate for this end dump trailer. Im having a hard time keeping it sealed so grain doesn't leak out.

Im using the normal air locks but there is to much play in them.

I ended up putting 2 bolts thru the tail gate and bolting the tail gate to the trailer.

The bolt deAl will work except when i want to dump , all the grain will pour out on me.

How can i make the safe to go down the road and easy to open the tail gate when dumping?

Right above the mudflap on the vertical 2x3 tubing is the half inch bolt im using to keep it closed
