🛥️ Thorn Boat 2'' Flush Pull Slam Latch: Durable Black Plastic Nylon Latch for RV, Boat, Marine Deck Hatch, 1/2'' Door Cabinet Hardware - Set of 4 PCS Review

Care must be taken to drill a large hole in the door to properly line up the metal latch. Measure three times, drill once. I don't know how long they will last but I bought parts. reasonable costs

In the middle of this one. They work. They're cheaply made. If you want something reliable, don't take them. They will not fit in 1/2" carpeted hatches. If you want quality, you have to pay for it.

The first piece I opened broke very easily with just a slight pull on the handle. They appear to be made from very cheap materials. Also, they come with no installation instructions and just packed in a zip-lock bag.

I have used these latches on my custom cabinets and they do not fit 1/2 doors and the screw threads are very brittle because of the cheap Plastic. I ended up installing 1/4 HDPE doors on another project and it worked.

The handles are spring-loaded so they automatically return to the stowed position, and my finger fits nicely under the designed cutout for easier opening. My boat had metal rings that lay so flat it was almost impossible to open them without digging out the edge. I went ahead and ordered the rest needed for my full transition to these. Haven't tested…

Was very happy to use them on my boat project where most of the bottoms are 1/2" plywood. At first I thought they were very cheap and worried about durability but thought I'd give it a try. Without a template to install them, figuring out where to drill the hole if not already is a bit of a guess. Once installed, the bolts are too short and don't even try to clamp the top bracket onto the 1/2" plywood. I did try to get it to work though. I cut off part of the bottom bracket and turned it. so I…
