Renovators Supply Manufacturing Wrought Iron Gate Latch Heavy Duty Colonial Style

Worked great for use on a non-operational house shutter.

looks great and works good

This was a waste of money, and while trying to correct its flaws, I broke it, and don’t feel right returning it.- the latch on the ring sits out 1/2 inch from catch for the latch, and is bend. But not enough-the catch is too narrow, given the latches bend- the three parts on the front do not line up symmetrically like other more expensive units.- the latch didn’t slide up the catch to secure the door- no instruction or template for hole to cut, although very intuitive.This was a complete waste of money although very inexpensive, and I should have returned it before trying to “fix” it.

I bought this for a 3' entry picket gate. It is a somewhat large latch and I soon learned that it is not well suited for smaller gates. It needs to be set back several inches from the edge of the gate in order for the rings to turn properly without interfering with the adjacent post as it opens. The latch arm is also very long.I decided to make-do by cutting the arm shorter to fit. The first thing I noticed was how soft the metal was. It cut "like butter". The flat-head screws strip easily, so I replaced them.After only two weeks, everything started to rust extensively. The finish and metal is subpar- to the point that the lever barely turns due to corrosion. I REPEAT: AFTER TWO WEEKS!I would return it but for the fact that I cut it. Bummer.
