Replacement fits for safety

Purchased to replace a broken similar unit. I just bought a new house and trying to lock the key for the first time. There must have been corrosion on the inside as the lock was ground and snapped when the key was turned. Then it wouldn't open. Possibility to remove the old lock and simply replace an identical block with the existing holes. No problem. Easy to use. Releases easily when unlocked. Closes/locks securely by itself. When locked, it CANNOT be opened. Surprisingly strong magnetic…

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Not all will fit

The squirrels just ate this substitute!

This is our second lock. The squirrels gnawed the top handle off of the first one! I don't know why D&D can't make these bars with a squirrel proof metal handle! Everyone else seems to be having the same issue and nothing I've tried seems to work. White people don't care. For them, it's just a tasty snack. Today I smeared Vicks VapoRub over the pen and will update my review if it works. Put this company must make the ties more squirrels.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • disappears

Much better than a cheap bar! Exactly what we needed.

We had to reinforce the latch and hinges on the aluminum fence gate as two of our dogs were able to escape with the cheap latch (apparently just pushing the gate would open the latch). We researched and found D&D's MagnaLatch Series 3 and bought it. After installing D&D's MagnaLatch, we found that we needed adjustable hinges because the spacing between the posts for the latch was too large for the MagnaLatch. Luckily D&D sells these adjustable TrueClose hinges and they couldn't be simpler! Both

Perfect Pet Latch & Safety Latch

Let me start by saying that I've been happy to replace my old rusty gravity latch while I'm fixing things around my house. I used this on a gate my dog kept coming out of. He could open the old bolt, but he can't get out of this one. Installs easily and runs smoothly. It's also a plus that they're child-safety approved too, and while I don't currently have any kids (other than my dog), it's still nice to know that friends' kids or future kids can't run this either. I was also able to recode…

Pros
  • The Best in Its Niche
Cons
  • I'll add later
