Customer Reviews for National Hardware Black Out-Swinging Thumb Latch

Pretty plain stamping but fairly heavy duty. I was looking for something more in a "hammered" look but they were 3 times the price. Even came with an extra screw (for the one you inevitably drop).

Overall a good product for the price. There are several pieces that fasten to the back of the gate with precise measurements - I see no reason why these can't come all on one plate. I installed (4) of these latches and used left over chunks of pickets to pre-assemble the back pieces; then just fastened the whole thing to the gate - much easier. Also I added some washers we had laying around at the pivot point for the latch - our ppt pickets were soft and without the washers, it was easy to over-tighten preventing the latch from moving. All of these factors in mind, this gate latch is less than half the price of other similar products; thus I rate it as an overall a good product.
