Replace screws before installation

The lock is solid but the screws provided were very poorly made. There were no instructions for my equipment. I pre-drilled the holes but the screw heads came loose halfway through even the slightest pressure. I had to take a pair of pliers and slowly unscrew the screws. As a result, I had to buy better screws to install the lock. After the installation everything worked great. Seller sends better screws with the goods. It is better if the manufacturer makes screws and includes instructions for

Amazing parental controls.

I bought two of these for sliding closet doors, one for each door to keep our little one out of that closet. They work great. We place them just above eye level, which is far away for the younger ones. They are easy to use and even hold doors in place. For some reason we don't have a bottom track for the doors, so the doors can wobble a bit and swing in opposite directions, allowing a smart toddler (or pet) to sneak into the closet. These locks prevent that. A quick click on the "bolt" and the…

Great lock but the mounting screws are NOT SUITABLE

The lock looks very solid and has a nice chrome finish. The screws that come with the kit are junk, junk, useless. The installation instructions say to drill a 3/32" hole. I drilled a 3/32" hole in an aluminum framed door panel. Tried to drive a screw in and after going in about 1/4" the screw broke. I did had to move the lock up a bit and redrill the holes. Used the next size bit, the larger one (7/64"). I started putting another screw in it and it broke again. At least this time it broke in…

Pros
  • Nice part
Cons
  • Useless features

Also fits swing doors

I used this on an aluminum frame swing door. The door is very old with a useless thumb latch and I don't like that people can open the screen door so easily. This lock works well in the corner between the jamb and the door, and even with only a screen installed in the summer (a glass panel is deployed in the winter), this lock will prevent someone from impulsively entering the home looking for a quick theft opportunity while I'm distracted from the kitchen. The lock is not visible from the…

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • Minor issues
