Late Victorian Cast-Iron Decorative Cabinet Slide Latch

This was bought for a Buffett type dresser. Very happy with the product.

I recently restored an old pie safe that had lost any hardware that would have been original. It stiles are thin on this one so I needed something narrower than normal to work properly. What I received first was too wide, (my fault, I forgot to measure) but the return was easy and the new ones look great.

One of the latches does not slide open all of the way

Everything about them is great, I can find no negatives.

A nice replacement item

Looks great

Happy with product looks and quailty

Latch is perfect for our firewood box.

Excellent replica latch. Only two negatives: the back is open (my original is closed) which may rub against the wood, I fear, and the spring is a bit strong compared to my original antique hardware. Still, this allowed me to replace the few missing latches on the China cabinet which I inherited, and even matched the original mounting holes.

Despite a beautiful, solid, weighty appearance, there is very poor slide action when operating it from its knob or just pushing in the spring-loaded latch. Also, there was a defect...a bent screw was attached to the knob and may or may not have contributed to the poor operating slide action of this unit. I returned it immediately for exchange. fingers crossed.
