Review: Inexpensive gate latch at the right price without a compromise in quality - This gate latch is well made - parts don't bind, paint is even and serves as a protective layer over the metal and comes with good quality black screws to fasten the hardware. On my gate, I drilled a hole through the wood above the latch release and ran a nylon string through it to let myself out of the chicken run from the inside. Works very well! Nice that the hole to attach the string was part of the latch mechanism. I pre-drilled the holes and even with the use of a impact screw driver, the Phillips head screws didn't protest and went in snugly. This is. a welcome change when a simple low impact driver can shear off a lesser mounting screw and casue re-work and put a damper on a project that is progresssing smoothy otherwise. I guess it's the small things that work well that can make a product worth looking for and purchasiong again, I'm now on my 3rd gate and have ordered 3 of these National Hardware latches. Great product.
Review: Works, just not what I needed. - Smaller than I thought, but my fault for not reading. Well made and came as advertised.
