We completely rebuilt our shed doors which were rotting all over and letting mice in. Instead of using the existing hardware that was 20 years old, we bought this new hardware, especially since we needed a new lock anyway and of course who doesn’t want new hardware on brand new freshly painted doors?!? The hardware was identical to what we already had and it fit the doors beautifully. It is very sturdy, exactly what we were looking for and were very easy to install. I have no doubts this hardware will hold up for as long as the first set and even longer! I should mention we added gate latches to the top and bottom of the doors that we purchased separately and were not part of this set. This was only because we wanted to completely mouse proof the shed and the Need for the latches had nothing to do with the hardware not doing it’s job. Great purchase and not disappointed at all!!
