Article is of very good quality, arrived in timely fashion, well packaged, and was as advertised. Would definitely shop here again.

I have this latch on my front storm door. Actually, I'm now on my second latch as the first corroded badly and the handle broke after 2-3 years of installation. The second latch corroded slightly less badly and is now 3 years old. Tragically, it too has now broken, the screws that fasten the latch together have failed. Forst one broke, then the other and the bits ended up in a heap on the floor. So, I am now looking for #3. I wish I could replace it with something else, but am not sure what would fit the holes in the door. It really stinks that you cannot buy these things at retail anywhere as my fron tdoor is now out of order due to this shoddy product!

Although I didn't purchase this product from Amazon I just wanted to let everyone know how poorly it's made using cheap rivots. After less than a year the inside latch broke off. Further inspection showed the rivots failed. A latch such as this should be better made and should be expected to last longer than this. DO NOT BUY THIS LATCH

This latch looks and feels good but has no durability. After a few months the finish wears off even in a covered porch location. Within a year the latch mechanics feel sloppy, within two years the inside latch handle broke off just as another reviewer described. This product is not recommended.

This is a beautifully crafted product, heavy, solid brass, looks lovely on our doors. Gets rid of that functional look that most storm door hardware shows on the outside. Perhaps the former reviewer got a defective product, because the rivets that hold mine together are plenty tough.

The only possible negative is that you can't lock it from ourside or inside; but that isn't a fatal flaw.

I bought the latch here on Amazon, via Polstein's Home and Beyond. It came just as promised; in fact, they bundled several items I'd ordered from them together for a very reasonable shipping charge. I would have no hesitation ordering from this vendor again.
