This is as sturdy as it looks. Functions well and was easy to install.

Fit and finish is great.Only time will tell how it holds up

I'm so impressed by this item. For the price, it offers a total bang for your buck. It looks really high end and works well. We used it on the front gate of our new fence. The installer had it on easily and we get to enjoy it.

This thing is really nice.For as solid as the design is,it is not truly 'universal', in that it latches 'up' with the door opening inward,and latches 'down' with the door opening outward.Not a big deal, but i would have thought the manufacturers could be clever enough to make itconvertible so that it latches the same way for both door orientations.The GL-2 version says it fits doors 3-1/2 wide.This is common for doors or gates made with 2x4s.I would have thought that would be true for the GL-1 version.It's not actually specified for the GL-1, but it doesn't fit a 2x4 width (3.5") without some modifications.I had to put some spacers in the handles so the pin didn't go all the way in.It worked but, for those of you with gates/doors made of 2x4s be aware.I'm glad it worked for me.Like i said, it's a really nice product.

The quality is quite nice; solid, seems durable, I liked how it looked. The design could be improved where only one side of the handle turns at a time; having the opposite side turn can make the handle hit the frame. It would also have been much easier to install if they provided a template to show where to cut the hole for the pin. The pin was also super long and I had to cut it down to work; if I didn’t have tools for that it would have not worked for me.

Some of the images for the gate latch are mirrored. This is very frustrating. The 1st item I received was missing parts, so I ordered a replacement. When the 2nd item came and I found the latch was not as described and the images above are mirrored. The gate latch is not truly universal, you can invert the catch, but I cannot do that because my dog will just pull the handle down and let himself out. I tried to return the unused gate latch and I found out I won’t get a full refund. I’m returning an unused product that was misleadingly described, I’m out time and money I’m very disappointed.

I added this latch to a exterior gate that I made out of wood. The latch mechanism is perfect, the handle closes nicely to the lock and very pleased with the quality of everything.The one modification I had to make, was the cut the metal hexagon rod that connects the two sides of the handle that makes both sides turn when one side is turned. It was 1" too long for my door thickness of 1.5".I think some people were adding an additional piece of wood to add more depth to the door - But I wanted a cleaner install. I found a cutoff wheel did the job pretty easily to the hexagonal rod.I believe the rod is meant for 2.5" door thickness. Anything less you'll need to either build up your door thickness or cut off the hexagonal rod.Overall very happy with the hardware itself.

odd shank demensions. fence gate is pretty standard but the 2 sizes provoded are +/- .5the hook has a vary small lip to it so can slip off easily and the retnetion bolt is very narrow and probably wont hold up to much force
