Good latch on door hardware and locks

I don't know what the negative reviews mean. Mine fit perfectly with the screws that came with it. The sliding mechanism works perfectly. I suspect the naysayers installed it incorrectly.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Poor instructions

Brad, waste of money!

Approximately 10 pounds of pressure installed and applied, shaft bent and broken. DO NOT rely on security. it might work for a toddler but that's about it! Now I have holes in my door.

Pros
  • Easy Install
Cons
  • I'm writing back

Great for child protection!

I bought 4 of these for our house. They are cool! Some of them are mounted vertically and others horizontally, they work fine in both directions. I need them for added security for the little ones as mine can open both the deadbolt and the door lock. When mounted on top, they are out of reach for small hands and give me security. They have been used on interior and exterior doors and work well on both.

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Compatibility

crap, don't buy it!

Wastebasket. The screws that attach it to the door prevent the lever from moving left and right. Because of this, the lever becomes so tight that it becomes a burden to use. In addition, it is very weak and the screws are of extremely poor quality, which is why they are torn off at the first use. Finally, 2 years ago I happened to purchase the same item from Home Depot and noticed a significant difference in quality between Home Depot and Revain, with Revain not being up to date.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Requires outlet

it was easy to install and looks nice

if you mark the spot with a pencil, pre-drill the holes with a 1/16" drill bit, don't use a drill bit to tighten the screws, and have 2 small chisels to match it was easy to install and looks nice they work just as well how to have both plates for inside or outside mounting of a frame if you don't pre drill the holes or use a bit, that's too big or try using a drill to tighten the screws you will increase your chances of screwing it in. I've seen some reviews saying the screws were too small…

Pros
  • handy item
Cons
  • no instructions

I am happy with the price

The packages I received were in new condition. These screws are good value for money and offer several versatile mounting options. For some applications you need a chisel. My two complaints: 1. The action is a bit rough. You can tell they just haven't put much effort into their smooth handling.2. The latch has a very low profile meaning there isn't much opportunity to fit warped or slightly misaligned doors. Since I use them as locks on antique doors that no longer lock, this was a problem for…

Pros
  • Ease of use
Cons
  • Difficult to say

Not locked in summer

It was great at first. Until summer comes and maybe because of the humidity?. They don't close. They seem to have moved just enough to prevent the lever from getting into the tab properly to close. UPDATE: Rating changed from 1 to 4 stars as they were a problem initially but are working fine now. So as of September 2020 they have adapted enough to open and close as needed. Summer and winter. Sometimes we have to raise the door a bit, but I guess that's to be expected as wood swells with…

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Not bad

Looks great and works well!

After reading some of the reviews on here I almost gave up on these surface screws. I have used Prime Line products in the past and have always had good experiences. I repair all interior doors in the house. I changed the color of my hardware and made it easier to replace the old finish studs I installed on my three sets of double doors. Literally 15 minutes ago I installed the first of the three and everything worked as expected. Any negative reviews that have been written do not reflect my…

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Updates

Throw away the trap and deadbolt key

This won't stop and I repeat it won't stop violent gangs from breaking into your home. I know it firsthand because I'm actually the leader of a violent gang. I gifted this lock to my new neighbor and he didn't even stop me when the boys and I kicked his front door. My neighbor gave it to me and then broke into my house. But he's really cool and the leader of a cute gang, so I can't even be mad at him. Okay, covered my tracks. It was close. Oh wait, I'm typing this, everyone can still read it…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine
