Our "mini" latch is just adorable, yet far more stout than anything at the box hardware stores. The 5/8" slide solid steel bolt is easy to operate and offers peace-of-mind security. It weighs about 4 pounds; forged loops! Mount with 3/8" carriage bolt or lag screw (not included).As with all DBH products, a 2 process automotive grade finish and powder coat tops it off for lasting protection.
