Prime-Line U 10306 Surface Bolt, Brass (Single Pack)

I used it on a double door into the family room to keep the cat inside that room at night - so he doesn't disturb my sleep. The other door had an identical one

screws don't countersink well. had to go to store to buy replacement screws. that took longer than the install

Got this for our doors once our toddler could reach the deadbolt lock. Having an out of reach lock that we could quickly install gave some relief. I used a permanent marker to mark underneath the sliding piece so I can see that it’s locked from across the room.

After reading some of the reviews here, I nearly decided against these surface bolts. I've used Prime-Line products before and have always had a good experience. I am refinishing all of the interior doors in my home. I changed the color of my hardware and that facilitated changing out the old surface bolts that I had installed on my three sets of double doors. Just 15 minutes ago, I installed the first of the three and everything went as expected. All of the negative reviews written were not representative of my experience. I think that many times people have no idea how to properly install stuff like this. Take your time, make sure measurements are correct, drill PILOT holes and then install. I used my power impact driver with no problem, but if you have trouble controlling power tools I would suggest driving the screws by hand, it would be easy to strip out the small screw heads. The hardware installed easily and works very well. I know that there can be an occasional bad unit, but in my case it all worked very well. If I have any issues installing the other two sets, I will come and edit this review.

I purchased these surface bolts to secure some 1930s casement windows from blowing open with the wind. Overall, I they work well. The only reason for the four star rating was that the packages were short one screw. This wasn’t a big issue for me, because I had screws of the same size, but if I hadn’t, I would have given it a three star rating.

These were great at first. Until the summer came and because humidity, maybe?... they won’t shut. Looks as if they shifted just enough to make it so the lever will not meet the eyelet properly to shut.UPDATE: changed rating from 1 to 4 stars since they were a pain at first but now work fine. So, as of september 2020 they have adjusted enough to open and close as needed. Summer and winter. Sometimes we have to lift the door some but I guess that’s to be expected with wood swelling from humidity. Nothing that I can’t work with. In winter I pull the door up ever so slightly and lock glides smoothly. It’s nowhere near as tough to slide as it was when we first installed them. It protects us and keeps us safe. Keeps the kids from getting out onto the deck since they can’t reach it. Overall... Happy with it.

It works very well, especially if you have kids who like to open the front door. Easy to install.

I bought this lock for added security. It's also in child lock. I'm placing it high up on the door. It was very easy to install and works like a charm.

This is the best door latch you can have.

le produit a une belle finition, bien solide; cependant ça ne coulisse pas facilement, il faut y pulvériser du WD-40 ou tout lubrifiant pour faciliter le mouvement.

The media could not be loaded.  There is a design flaw with this flat bolt and requires modifications for it to function. Please see the video. The screws provided apparently have bigger screw head than it’s supposed to. The flat bolt lock can’t pass the screw as shown in the video. So what I ended up doing was grinded down the screw head to make it look more low profile for the lock to pass. It will take more time to install so be prepared if you make adjustments/modifications.However, emailed prime line customer service but still haven’t gotten a response.

It was easy to install and looks good on the door.

The lock is very sturdy and easy to install.
