A29 Door Slide Bolt Latch, 12 x 2 Inches With 3 Gate Latch, Sliding Barrel Bolt, Surface Bolt Door Lock Latch for Gates, Cabinets and Doors, Iron Black Powder Coat Finish

This is a very attractive latch with the old world charm of the "wrought iron look " It has a soft patina finish which will be put to the test of the elements ...It may be a bit light weight for the job but fit so well I couldn't resist ~~~

So, this piece looks pretty cool, but when I went to screw it into place, I realized that the little slots on the screws are so narrow that I couldn’t find any of my screwdrivers that would fit in and turn the heads. Extremely disheartening. I tried five or six different screwdrivers, and none of them fit the little bitty slot.

not heavy enough for barn door

We installed it on an antique door and it looks origional

Installed on a 1870’s double door. Latch looks great but the latch bolt is a little short to ensure a secure door even with minimal spacing between the two doors. The door bolt needs to be at least a half inch longer.

I used 2 of these sliding door locks for a set of double doors. The sliding lock matches the look and feel of the hinge and other hardware on the door. I planned to use the ‘U’ shaped catch but quickly realized that the ‘U’ shape should really be an ‘O’ with ears. Because there was no ‘back’ on the ‘U’ shaped catch, the doors do not stay flush with each other. Instead the door has about 1/4” of play between the sliding bolt and the ‘U’ catch.

i would buy this product again, quality of the slide bolt is good and hurky with a great look however the screws are poor quality. I am using this slide bolt for a Murphy bed I built out of hickory, I pre drilled the holes and the screws snapped off with very little torque so will have to drill those out and get some better screws. Another issue was I ordered the slide bolt that was 5 3/8 x 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 and received the 8 x 2 1/8, they said this was a manufacturing issue they would get fixed. Tom from their customer service took care of it and gave me a refund and sent me 2 new ones for free which I was not expecting. I would recommend this product, first 2 pictures are of the incorrect item shipped, last one is of the correct item.

Looks great. Best if not used on a daily basis. The finish starts to wear on daily use. After 75-100 slides the bolt will come all the way out. There is no stop. THROW AWAY THE MOUNTING SCREWS!!!! Go to the hardware store and get quality screws ( $3-5). No matter how easy or if you Pre drill, they will break.
