Works best as intended in hardware

I would say I should have gone with a longer shaft. This model has a hard time getting through my barn door as it is built quite narrow. 2x4 on the rim, 1/2" OSB and 1x4 trim. That's about 4 1/2" of material and the latch just slides over the shank to work. Not a problem, but I was hoping to add a metal plate where the latch connects to the other door, but I don't have enough clear space for that unless I use thin sheet metal.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Available in white only

Very easy to apply, perfect fit, this is the handle you need for storage

Received very quickly, everything worked perfectly, the long rod was white, which I needed and could not find too big department stores. A simple installation took about five minutes and a hex wrench is included to tighten the locking piece. He went straight to the storage room door and held it tight. I would recommend this to anyone needing a new handle and lock for a storage room. By the way, there were three keys in the kit, which was great, I didn't have to buy an extra key to hide…

Pros
  • Sample for a year
Cons
  • Concise instructions

Short, not 5-1/2 inch as advertised

Great product idea, I only find something like this on the market. However, this will not work with a 2x4 door frame and a 2X fabric door. The shaft length is a bit short. The thickest product you can make is 4-5/8", not 5-1/2" as they claim. The overall length of the shaft is 5-1/2 inches and this does not include the connection required for the set screw and attachment to the lock. Just make the shaft an inch or two longer. And the end user can cut it to any length they want, or even better…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Reasonable price

Not much to say about this, it's a simple handle design. Others have mentioned exposing the screw heads, although depending on your installation you can at least adjust them so that the screw heads line up directly with the handle when the door is closed/locked. I don't think this will really stop anyone from removing the screws, and the screws that come with it barely hold if someone manages to get them out and can easily be ripped out that way. This is negated by using longer screws. And if…

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • Zero
