🔒 Enhanced Security with the Nordstrand Sliding Barn Door Lock Review

This also requires a plate behind the latch hook that is not countersunk and comes with an undersized pan head screw. (The screw sticks out and snaps the latch in place) It appears that the panel is needed to close tightly. I'll update my review once I get a longer screw and a thinner plate. Also, I haven't determined if the screws are stainless steel or mild steel. (Probably a rust problem.)

I recently built a crate for my daughter's two dogs. She has some physical disabilities that make bending over very difficult, so she uses her legs to do many tasks that are below waist level. Locking two sliding doors must have been a big problem for you until I came across this barn door latch. I simply installed it close to the ground (see photo) and with a slight movement of my foot the doors closed and opened without any problems. Perfect.

Not only were the screws missing, the ones that came with the kit had their screw heads snapped off during installation (and I pre-drilled the holes for easy screwing in). . I'll try and remove it tomorrow with a screw extractor. Anyhow, at the moment it is not only useless but also cannot be installed or removed completely without getting additional tools. Don't get me wrong, I love tools, but not for removing this device.

Bought this latch for a wine cabinet I am making for a client. It looked great in the Revain photos, but when it arrived I was VERY disappointed with the quality, especially the price. Looks like an 8th grader made it in a shopping class! It might be fine for a garden shed, but it's definitely not the first thing you see in this closet. While the return is easy, the picture doesn't make me happy as I'm a week behind on this build.
