Review on Strong and Reliable: 4 Pcs Metal Lock Barrel Bolt Spring Loaded Latch 6.5 Inches Long with Grip - Heavy Duty by Edwin Kreps

Revainrating 3 out of 5

If you buy this latch, be sure to replace the tapered pin immediately.

I bought two clasps. They are the perfect replacement for the 30 year old damaged ones I had. On my first drive, the "conical" pin fell out and the spring and locking pin hit the pavement. Since I only walked 1/2 mile I was able to find the pieces. I went to the hardware store, bought a matching taper pin and assembled the latch. No rust in two months. I would buy again, but would immediately spend $1 to replace the pins with the correct ones, not the bent sheet metal ones.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Slightly torn
