Review on πŸšͺ Dynasty Hardware Privacy Pocket Door Latch in Aged Oil Rubbed Bronze, Perfect for Bedrooms and Bathrooms by Nick Shirodkar

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great except for one problem.

Summary: In general this is a reliable, beautiful and functional product. Looks pretty good and goes well with other oiled bronzes in our house. There is a downside in that it was quite tight or "catchy" when trying to pick the lock. The functionality rating I give below relates to this anomaly as the knob is difficult to turn. Pretty hard. As a result, I removed it and lubricated it with high-quality silicone grease, which helped a lot. I still think there is more to it and that the lube is just a band-aid in this matter, but he made it usable. I think the factory needs to spend a little time polishing the rough edges before assembly. If they make it, it'll be a lightweight product with a 5 out of 5. Another note: it's very durable. In fact, this is the third lock I've put on this door and is by far the strongest I've found. An interesting note is that it's only a touch lower than my previous lock, so I had to move the latch down 1/8 inch.
