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

After searching in big stores and a few local hardware stores with no success I found these and they are exactly what I wanted. Well made, robust and very good value for money.

The pin that holds the barrel in place is poorly installed and not long enough. Everything about this product is designed to be a great, long lasting product. It's close, but not the proverbial segar!

They are advertised as 6 1/2 (6.5) inches long and only 6 1/4 (6.25) inches long. The tip on the outside of the spring pin is 1 1/4 (1.25) inches, the diameter of the pin is approximately 1/4 (0.25) inches.

Looks like a quality product that will last, but one of these must have been sitting on the seabed for some time. I have more and more problems with products from Amazon and their retailers. Now I have to send it back and wait. A little bit frustrating. The problem isn't so much with Amazon as it is with the retailer that made it. I will order another

I was impressed by those spring plungers. I have used them on the passive door of my 2 door barn for the past 6 months. They are heavy and prevent the door from moving. I put one on the top and bottom of the door to keep it from moving. I can see where the weak link is the little pins in them (keeping it in the unlocked position) and they might fail in the future. At the moment, however, they didn't worry me for a second.

You are great. Used them to craft a custom lock for custom farming implements. Some say they can almost get the pin out of the hole but I can't. I bought four of these and they all work great. There are also countersunk holes for a countersunk screw if you need that. Eventually you'll have to replace the roller pins holding it together, but that's no big deal. The coil pins that come with the kit seem a bit more fragile than the set of hardened pins I have. But it's easy to replace with a…

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.
