Authentic Period Look!!

Comments:

Used this hardware as the latch on original floor to ceiling paneled folding doors (1780's) between dining room and parlor. Looks original and is totally Awesome!

Breaks within the first few weeks

Comments:

I purchased several of these for a project in Mexico we are building. Most of them are not used very often, but the two that are used on a 3 times a week basis, broke within a month. They are made of Pot Metal and break easily. The cost was low for a reason, but as for value, I don't think [$] is worth the 3 to 4 week use. Do not buy this product!

classy casement latch

Comments:

I wanted a window latch that would work well with the wooden windows in my garden shed. These latches look and work just great!

Great value... great design

Comments:

After purchasing our new house, we were looking to upgrade the ""tired"" casement window hardware without spending a fortune. These latches are perfect. The give just the right amount of detail without being overbearing or ""heavy."" If you have an old Spanish or similar, I highly recommend these.

Hardware with Heart !

Comments:

We get tons of compliments on the hardware throughout our home; our secret is where we get it! Our home was built in the 1700s and is historic. We get many passing through who request tours. The past owners did some restoration work, but we have replaced hardware from the doorknobs to the kitchen cabinets which completely finishes off each room. I LOVE your products!

I LOVE this latch!

I searched for quite a while before finding your site... I was looking for a special antique looking latch for a display/project glass-doored hutch. When I found the reproduction Rat-tailed window latch, I knew this was what I had been looking for (not to mention growing up with many pet rats-this latch is too cute)! The latch is just perfect for the hutch, and it adds the perfect CHARM I was looking for... not to mention - it is well-made too.Thanks much for the great products. I would definitely shop online here again!

Love this hardware

Comments:

I used this latch along with offset strap hinges and shutter dogs from HAH for interior shutters for a rustic/cabin feel of my adult son's living space. Also used on matching closet doors. The result turned out great. The latches are simple and look incredible.

Most of our friends want one!!!

Perfect Casement Latch for my Windows

I searched everywhere for a match in style and color for my broken casement window latch. The latch fits perfectly and was easy to install.
