Heavy Duty Adjustable Roller Mortice Door Catch/Latch 38mm - Satin Stainless Steel

Arrived swiftly and pleased with overall quality (originally).The catch arrived swiftly and I spent this afternoon removing the old mortice lock and filling the hole with a beautifully shaped piece of wood, remembering to leave enough space to fit this catch. All beautifully sanded down but when I came to fit it, I realised that the holes in the catch's face plate weren't bevelled to take the screws supplied - the holes were large and the screw heads small!! Upon further inspection, I noticed that the face plate consisted of only one piece of metal - not the two shown in the pic on the order page. Really frustrated about this as I've now had to contact the seller - hopefully for a replacement before I have to return the item - as I now have aporch open to the elements as I'm unable to refit the lock which was removed!!Update: the item was replaced in less than 24 hours. The seller's response to my email at around 5.00pm was immediate and I received a replacement by 9 the next morning. I have therefore updated my review.Second update: the catch is still functioning well after 10 months in a very windy front porch door. It has not slackened off; nothing has rusted; all is good.

When this product arrived I did wonder if it would be difficult to latch as the spring is very strong. However, with the right adjustments it's perfect, and creates a very positive latch that is easy to open and close. Very good value item that does the job excellently.

Well made but NOT easy to fit. Sharp wood chisels needed to recess both sides into the door & the door jamb. There's perfect aligning to achieve, too. Woodworking experience needed!

Good quality easy to fit works a treat

Exactly as described. Fitting needs a slot to be created with drill and chisel. However, once fitted it provides a robust all-metal catch. Adjustment requires the catch to be taken out, but is very straightforward with just a single screw.I use this on a heavy internal garage door with a Briton closer, and would recommend it in that sort of application. There are probably better products available for very lightweight doors.

Bought this to overcome handle problems with door. Fitted in to the old latch hole perfectly and adjustability allowed me to get correct tension on the door close.Thinking of changing all my doors to these as a lot better than a latch and handle.

wanted a latch suitable for a heavy door. Tried those door catches that consist of a bearing/plastic roller (designed for cabinets but they seem ok on light doors) but found they wouldn't hold my old, heavy door shut. This heavy duty latch has done the trick. it is adjustable to your needs, however it has to be removed in order to get access to the screw so no adjustments on the fly like the plastic roller types. Also, the guides positioned left and right of the gap on the door frame plate will gradually bend further in, eventually requiring more force to open the door. This could be overcome by making more adjustments i guess.

Little fiddly to fit but appears sturdy.
