Review on πŸšͺ National Hardware N101-576 V25 Swinging Door Latch in Black, 3/4" – Secure Your Swing Door with this Black Latch by Shawn Reiter

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Easy to install, clean look.

They were very easy to install. You need to make sure you have room for the stem to get to the handle on the inside of the gate. I had a small issue with wood chips getting stuck between the 2x4 and the batten after drilling the hole, but after cleaning them with a file the handle worked. The easiest way to ensure alignment is to install an inner handle that slides back and forth, then use a small drill to make small holes at the top and bottom of the slot where the stem fits in the handle. Then simply drill a hole in the middle of these two marks and you're done. The packaging doesn't give you any instructions on how to install it properly, so after trying to figure out the dimensions I figured out the method above and the installation went smoothly. The fittings are of good quality, some of the screws are very cheap, but that's a good thing.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
