A29 Cabinet Latch, Cabinet Door Latches for Closet Kitchen Door Windsor Design, Antique Latch, Antique Brass Pulls with Latches Hardware, Solid Brass

I bought these for a solid Cherry fold down 4 stage conversion crib/bed/ bedroom set i was building for my daughter, she was expecting her second.. so she asked dad for something old fashioned but contemporary, these worked perfectly. I was looking for something that was "child proof" to a degree, baby's have curious fingers so wanted something stiff and hard to turn. went with the round handle instead of the teardrop, figuring it would be harder for him to grasp.. That being said, I wouldn't recommend these if you have arthritis go with the tear drop style instead, these are stiff and a little hard to grasp..To the technical aspects, with over 20 plus years as a machinist and machining many different types of materials and forgings, these forgings were nice, crisp and clean, the internals including the spring were well made and put together securely, I spritzed a little graphite powder in the guts before assembly as a dry lubricant.. and after reading other people's reviews would suggest, to avoid stripping the heads on these screw's, drill a pilot hole 3/4 the depth, and wax the screw threads with bee's wax before driving in, and also, use the appropriate sized screw driver, snugged down plus a quarter turn will do it.. makes for easier instillation.. just a few pointers, have been making furniture as a hobby for 30 plus years..Would definitely buy these again, especially if my son ever decides to get married and making offspring.. but hope fully not for a couple of years...Hope this review is of help to those thinking to purchase these..

Used this a faux lock on a bifold pantry door. Great little piece that adds a vintage touch to an otherwise more modern piece.

These are beautifully crafted! So much potential for crafting or adding a unique touch to any refurbished antique furniture or custom project! Heavy in weight, comes with flat head screws, and a few extra which are well oiled in the package for quality. Also packaged separately from screws and other pieces to keep them from scratching on eachother.

Bought for an antique armoire and, it looks great, works well and matches the hinges very well!

This is a nice little latch for a smaller cabinet, heavy nice weight to the hardware nothing cheap.

I'm in the process of remodeling a 113+ year old house. These latches look very nice on the linen closet doors and have an old look and feel to them. They are made of heavy brass and not stamped out of tin like the majority of the ones you see in the hardware store are. The only down side is the screws that are provided... although they provide both Phillips head as well as straight head screws, the screws are made of very soft metal. The Phillips head screws take a small screwdriver bit, almost like a pen screwdriver or eye glasses screwdriver. Anything bigger will strip out the screw head making it look like a mess. Even with the straight head screws you have to be careful not to put too much pressure on the screw head so you don't round out the slot. The best thing to do is make sure you drill pilot holes for the screws, use the right screw driver, and use lots of patience when installing them.

I have a couple of casement windows in my 1890's house that had chintzy modern latch hardware on them. I bought these and put them on. Nice heavy castings, mechanism works smoothly.Here's the deal: You can't tell by looking that these latches haven't always been there in this house. It requires close examination to tell they aren't original. Excellent reproductions that look authentic!Very pleased.

Not safe for doors. If the door closes behind you, you’re locked in.
