Review on πŸšͺ Aluminum Tulip Knob Latch Set for Screen or Storm Door - Prime-Line Products K 5000 by Alex Marshall

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Broke after 4 days - actually it doesn't seem

Looks good, easy to assemble. The mechanism broke immediately. One star.β€”β€”β€”β€”Edit: I ordered a replacement from a different brand and it failed after only a few turns. It turns out that something is broken, but in fact the rod connecting the inner and outer parts is too short. Seems to fit, but after a few hits of the screen door it works fully and no longer connects the inner arm to the outer handle (where the return spring is located). Fixed by pinching the paper on both sides to keep the tip from moving. I'm only giving it three stars because if they make the latches long enough for a door as wide as mine (not too thick) the rest of the parts should work as well.

Pros
  • a practical thing
Cons
  • So far so good
