First off, let me say this latch is STURDY. The brushed nickel finish gives it a sleek look, and the stainless steel construction? Chef's kiss. No rust after months of outdoor use (take that, rainy season!).
The anti-theft design with raised edges is genius - my crafty raccoon neighbor hasn't breached my cat food stash since installation. Though I did replace the included screws with heavier-duty ones for extra security.
Installation was stupid easy - my husband had it mounted in under 10 minutes. Perfect for our barn-style closet doors that were constantly being nudged open by our determined cats. The 4-inch size provides just enough reach without being obtrusive.
One minor gripe? The finish scratches fairly easily during installation if you're not careful. But functionally, it's been flawless - no jamming, no sticking, just smooth latching every time.
Would I buy again? Absolutely. It's solved multiple containment issues in our home from pet-proofing to raccoon deterrence. Just wish it came in more color options!
