🚢 Marine Hatch Pull - Stainless Steel Thorn Boat Cam Latch Review

I was able to mount this latch on a motorhome drawer. What a great solution! This is not for the novice installer. everything is true. The screws are basically useless. I had to buy longer screws for a project. The screws that come with the latch are very easy to wear out.

Complete junk. If you don't have carpet, plan on making a gasket since the cam plate is flat. spring tension back. And 3 of the 6 I bought were missing bolts/locknuts. Chrome mil was inconsistent so be prepared for some looping. Stay away from this brand

Opened the package and clicked the closure 2 times. This caused the latch to come loose, suggesting I could hear it flapping with every wave. I have 6 sunroofs so I think I need something reliable. Coiled pens are pretty crappy and will be a problem in the near future.

Nicely made latch but the compression feature works when the handle is lifted to open and twist the latch to tighten rather than loosen when you want to open the sunroof. It's towards the back as it should tighten as you fold the handle. Maybe mine were an accident, maybe not; All 6 came back.

They are of good quality but have flaws 1) If you tighten the mounting bolts enough that the latch does not turn, it will become uneven it is not . clear. This is because the mounting screws are not centered in one direction. 2) They advertise 1/16 compression, but that only happens ring up. Yes, this is a reverse major design flaw

I wasn't given instructions but they weren't that difficult to install with a 2" hole saw. They are solid, heavy and appear to be very well built. I'd give them a five but... They can break a little better over time, but new installed it's difficult to get your finger under the latch to open and just as difficult to center with it you can close the latch . For the price I would definitely buy again if I needed another one.

With so many closures on offer, most from multiple manufacturers, and negative reviews raising the same issues, I took my time and made a video of my idea. I noticed missing locking plates, missing hardware, and reviews of custom components among all designs. The most serious, common and mysterious complaint was the latch pushing back as it neared the closed position. I made a video that shows how the latch works and explains what is going on, why this is not a problem and how to properly…

I have used these for deck mounting to hatches in fish wells. The 2" holes in the hatch door left after removing the old plastic latches had to be reamed out about 1/32" to fit the new latches into the deck's recessed holes. I'm very satisfied with this product. It was a bearish move. Adjusting the cams on them into a horizontal slot on the inside of the fish was mine, nothing to do with the product. You just need a lot of trial and error in the adjustment phase. I've decided to widen the…
