Cast Iron Oriental-Pattern Turn Latch in Antique Iron

I'm remodeling a 1903 home which had a built in hutch which was original when the house was built. Back in that day in time kitchens were not a part of the everyday home. I used the design of the hutch to build kitchen/bathroom cabinets - same type of doors - same type of hardware. I used this latch on 38 doors and was happy with the final results - 1903 look - 2015 features. They look like they were part of the original house build.

The Turn- Latch Looks great, Works Great. Shipping was fast, a great find.

This latch is heavy and well crafted. It seems to operate smoothly and has fine detail. It is very authentic. I did not care for the screws that it came with. They were overly thick. Considering a latch mounts near the edge of a cabinet door and the catch near the edge of a stile, I was afraid to use the screws for fear of cracking or splitting the wood. The screws are also straight bladed, which while authentic, are difficult to drive. I would have much preferred a different screw with this latch. I went to the hardware store and purchased new screws to match the latch which were easier to drive and less thick.

Perfect. Blends very well with existing hardware.
