Solid Cast Brass Barrel Bolt, Antique Brass Door Slide Latch Lock, Heavy Duty Gate Sliding Bolt Latch

Makes a good bolt for a Dutch door. Solid construction and antique style. Matched my front door knob perfectly. Great item!

I installed this near the bottom of my door to help hold back any hurricane force winds that we may have. It has a nice, long post, and can be used without the included strike guide, if desired. (I just drilled a hole, as I needed it to be flush with the door. ) It is notched, so can be used vertically and will not slip down when unlatched. It is sturdy, and attractive. As another reviewer mentioned, the screws it came with are far too short for the purpose, so I just grabbed a few longer ones from my tool box. Very happy with this purchase! Female/Aged 66

This is a solid slide lock for door security. It appears to be of high quality and is well finished. One thing to note, unlike many brass objects that have a "gold" finish, this lock clearly has more copper in the alloy, as it has a redder color. I find it attractive, others may not. It is, overall, a fine example of quality design and manufacture. Although I gave it a "5" on durability, that is only a guess. I simply haven't had it long enough to know how it will hold up. Because it seems very strong, I assume that it will also be durable.

Mimicking the other good reviews. This is a quality well made latch with substantial weight. I'm using it on the front double doors of the house to add a bit of security to the existing door knob lock. The screws that come with it are rather scrawny but would work in most instances. Since I'm using the latch for front door security, I purchased some #9 x 1" antique brass screws at the local big box hardware store. I had to drill out the holes in the latch just a bit to use the #9 screws, but it was worth it (I know, quite a bit of work just to use this latch). Looks great!

This is a very fine looking piece of hardware. I specifically looked for a brass piece because it will be used on a cellar door and will be subjected to frequent dampness. The previous zinc-coated barrel bolt rusted away. My only quibble is the screws that came with this item are NOT brass, even though the body of the item seems to be. At least, the body is not magnetic. The screws on the other hand, though they LOOK like brass, ARE magnetic. I therefore used stainless steel screws, since the color mismatch is unimportant in the location where I mounted it. Just bear in mind that you may have to come up with your own brass screws if you need real brass ones.

This product arrived quickly and is very sturdy. I needed it for an outside, balcony door in a 100 year old house and it looks the part!

Looks well made and gives a good impression of robustness. It’s quite heavy. I wonder if the screws could be bigger. So far so good

The ONLY reason this didn’t work is because I needed to be able to lift it with the handle on top but it has a brass cover. It really is a beautiful piece. Just wouldn’t function for what I needed.

I just wanted a bolt lock to use on an inside door of the chicken coop, something that wouldn’t rust with time. This bolt lock has a quality feel of days long ago, a technology I thought was lost with time. No light flimsy fake brass plating but a solid, smooth working piece of hardware. Well done.

SE ven muy bonitos montados en puertas de madera.

Awesome !

Buen producto.

I installed it and it works fine.
