Galvanized Iron Hook & Eye With Black Powder-Coated Finish - in 4 Sizes

We have these everywhere for old doors that are hard to keep closed

We were installing on an old restaurant door shutter to hold open. Worked great and looked great with other hardware we were installing

They were used on reproduction dutch doors for a barn and look great

I used the hook and eye to holder our outswing patio French door when the days are windy!

For years a fancier gate closure worked, but not always shutting completely. This hook and eye closure does the job with understated elegance.

Simple latch to a pair of shutters.

My coffee table is designed like a fancy storage trunk and the top of it splits open from the center outward. The flaw in the design is they didn't provide a way to lock the top in place so that objects that are set on top don't fall into the inside if any unknowing person put their weight on it and it split open quickly. This has been very frustrating (and some of my decorations have broke as a result). I installed two of these hook and eye latches (one for each side) to lock it in place and it's so much better! One would have done the trick, but I like the added security with kids running around. It even looks like the hardware belongs with the trunk. It's easy to ""unlock"" both latches to access the storage area. I highly recommend!

We literally live in one of the old county ""poor houses."" Hardware for the period in which the home was built is sometimes challenging to find, and not always of good quality. This hook and eye system was for a pantry door that refused to stay shut. The hook and eye system is well made, well finished and works perfectly. No problem to install or use!

It is perfect for the shutters on our 18th century villa. I just wish they were stainless steel given the ocean environment we live in. That said, I have coated them in oil black gloss paint and they have not rusted over the past 8 years.

Coupled with exposed door hinges of same material and style.
