A29 Iron Surface Slide Bolt 4 1/2 Inches Gate Latch Black Powder Coat Finish (3 Catches)

I like the latch but was not happy the screws that came with it they are slotted. I had to switch them out.

The item could of been a little shotter

Looks great. Best if not used on a daily basis. The finish starts to wear on daily use. After 75-100 slides the bolt will come all the way out. There is no stop. THROW AWAY THE MOUNTING SCREWS!!!! Go to the hardware store and get quality screws ( $3-5). No matter how easy or if you Pre drill, they will break.

I used 2 of these sliding door locks for a set of double doors. The sliding lock matches the look and feel of the hinge and other hardware on the door. I planned to use the ‘U’ shaped catch but quickly realized that the ‘U’ shape should really be an ‘O’ with ears. Because there was no ‘back’ on the ‘U’ shaped catch, the doors do not stay flush with each other. Instead the door has about 1/4” of play between the sliding bolt and the ‘U’ catch.

i would buy this product again, quality of the slide bolt is good and hurky with a great look however the screws are poor quality. I am using this slide bolt for a Murphy bed I built out of hickory, I pre drilled the holes and the screws snapped off with very little torque so will have to drill those out and get some better screws. Another issue was I ordered the slide bolt that was 5 3/8 x 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 and received the 8 x 2 1/8, they said this was a manufacturing issue they would get fixed. Tom from their customer service took care of it and gave me a refund and sent me 2 new ones for free which I was not expecting. I would recommend this product, first 2 pictures are of the incorrect item shipped, last one is of the correct item.

This was a refreshing change from other manufacturers. The quality of the coating was good, the operation was excellent. My only improvement suggestion would be a longer throw distance of the bolt. But it is certainly as advertised. I would and have bought again.

I added this to a cabinet I refinished and it’s absolutely beautiful. I did, however, needed to purchase screws as the provided ones were crap. Definitely worth it even though I needed sturdier screws for $1.25

Wanted cast iron old look, looks nice on door but hard to push and slide to lock and unlock
