🔩 N100 792 National Hardware Plated Holder Review

I bought this particular rod holder because the metal seemed pretty thick and none of the others I'd seen in the ads had a reinforcement pleat running through the middle .

Looks cheap but this metal is strong. I weigh 185 and put it on concrete to flex, after jumping and standing on it I still haven't flexed while hopping. It will definitely work for entry and garage doors.

Pretty robust. Wanted cheap extra insurance for our back door in the basement and I think it worked. Fair price too. For reference, I used 3" #14 screws. Pre-drilling requires a 1/8" drill bit.

I bought these to use on the large double doors in my shed. I looked at others for twice the price and settled on this one. Was pleasantly surprised, good quality metal. They are strong, sturdy and the standard 2x4 size fits perfectly.

They are great for use with a standard 2 x 4 to latch a door from the inside. Way better than any bar you could find. I have a 10ft opening with 2.5ft doors. I used 4 of these side by side in a row at the top and 4 in a row at the bottom with 2 standard 8ft 2 x 4's to keep the doors closed and aligned so they don't warp. I gave them 4* because I felt the 3 hole attachment area should have been longer as the surface area isn't that large compared to the 2 x 4 arm you insert into.

strong and cheap. There is no better way to improve the security of your doors that may not be used that often. I installed this on the back door of the garage which I only really use when we host people on our patio. I don't remember if they came with screws, but I would suggest drilling some pilot holes and using some screws. If anyone wants to break down that door, they're going to have to use a battering ram and make a hell of a racket. By then they must have regretted their decision to…

Improved your security Jul 14, 2014 By SteveVerified Purchase (What's this? ) After a recent home invasion I decided to improve my security in every way possible. I live in a very upscale neighborhood in Henderson, Nevada. My front door was kicked in while I was home and armed. I saw that the hinges were the weakest piece of hardware on the door. My contractor informed me that the garage's back door was the second most attacked object after the patio's sliding glass doors. We examined the door…
