Thorn Boat Hatch Slam Latch 2 inch Flush Pull Black Plastic Nylon Latches Handle for RV Boat Marine Deck Hatch 12 Door Hardware4 PCS

The Boat 2" Flush Pull Slam Latch has garnered a mixed reception from customers who have tested this product in various settings, primarily on boats and camper conversions. Initially, buyers are often pleased with the design—specifically, the spring-loaded mechanism that allows the latch to return to the stowed position effortlessly. Many users appreciate how these handles facilitate easy opening, especially when compared to traditional metal rings that can be cumbersome. However, longevity issues have been prominent, with several customers reporting breakage after minimal use. Customers have noted that if the latches are used with lockers that fit tightly, they are more prone to breaking. Additionally, the quality of materials has raised concerns; many reviews highlight that the latches are made from cheap plastic, which raises doubts about their durability. Installation challenges have also surfaced, as users have pointed out the inadequacy of the screws provided—especially for thicker doors. Customers have had to source longer screws for proper installation, adding to the inconvenience. On the whole, while the Boat 2" Flush Pull Slam Latch may offer a practical solution for certain lightweight applications, potential buyers should weigh the risk of durability issues and the need for additional modifications during installation. **
