In the past I have used this type of latches to mount lockers to the front of closed multi-person trailers, this time I used them for the storage compartments on the Bass boat. I had to change the length of the adjusting screws because my storage lids were only 1/8" thick, but I found the ones I needed at my local hardware store. I love them, the boat's owner loves them, and if I ever get the chance I have to order more for another project I will definitely do that Thanks Billy McAteer
