Although it did the job, I was disappointed with quality. The latch needed fine filing and polishing, in order to make it work smoothly.

The product wouldnt be bad, but watch out because of the surplus name, you get any size. I got two completely different latches and cant use either of them. The Hartwell latches have dozens of different designs with regard to the offset masses. I would like to see better construction drawings published here.
