National HardwareN109-214 V1142 Spring Loaded Heavy Duty Sliding Bolt, Black

Bigger than you think it is. Spring enables upward or downward action. It is either fully latched or completely not latched, no half-way latched. Heavy duty, top quality hardware, easy to install.It is actually somewhat burglar proof, you have to look at it pretty hard to figure out how it works. Once you understand it, very easy to operate. Someone in a hurry is not going to figure out how to open it.I mounted top and bottom on a double gate, money very sell spent.

This latch solved my problem. I’ve been using it for about a year and my Houdini horse has not let himself out once, unlike previous latches. And the gate is either clearly matched shut, or it is open, so it greatly reduced the factor of human error. Previously, we had added a snap to a more traditional latch, and if I or my husband or our farm sitter forgot the extra snap (we all did it), Houdini horse will realize it and open the gate. With this latch, there is no extra snap to remember and my horse hadn’t figured out s way to work it open with his prehensile lips. Thrilled with this product. Heavy duty and holding up great.

Used it for horse stalls. Very sturdy and should last for years.

I needed a bolt for my side door, and this worked wonderfully. Not much more to say about it, buy if you need a high quality bolt.I will say that the product pictures made it look smaller than it is, so take a peek at the dimensions before buying.

Sturdy, well-made and with an excellent design. This sliding bolt comes with its own bolt catch (something left out of many others) and includes really hefty screws.You can easily reconfigure it by removing the stud guide screw and re-positioning the spring so that the slide bolt is sprung in the extended position, and pulling it back releases the bolt.

Just added this to my gate to secure my back yard. It's really well made, and the spring locking device is great.

A curious design. Watch their video closely before buying. It is not operated like a common spring-loaded latch; multiple steps involved. When closed, the spring is compressed instead of relaxed. I returned it because, in my application, I will have many different people opening this gate and I won't be able to instruct each person. A typical spring loaded pin is intuitive whereas this one functions the opposite of what you think it would.

Strong. Ingenious. Worth every penny.I used it to hold a 4'x8' custom made door closed and it works perfectly.

FUERTE, SEGURO, GRAN TAMAÑO. LO RECOMIENDO....

We bought two of these latches to hold our dutch barn doors together. Other reviewers are right; this latch is larger than you think it is. That said, if you have the room for it it's extremely sturdy and should last a long time. I really like that it has a spring that pushes it open unless you manually close it; there's no confusion about whether it's open or closed.

Great latch...heavy duty. Seems very well built. Solid construction. The spring looks to be high quality and I don't anticipate it to break anytime soon. Have used it for a few months and no regrets. Only point to mention is that it is a bit bigger than what the picture suggests, but no big deal at all. Happy with purchase

Great security lock for my french doors.

Love this latch,wish I had one sooner. Bought another one,on order week for delivery quick. Heavy duty. Durable we’ll see.
