Safety latches
We had a pair of the Carolina Hinge co manual safety latches and wound up selling on Ebay. I did not like the way I was going to have to butcher up the doors and jambs to get them in. We purchased a slide bolt used in construction that has a satin nickel finish for a couple of bucks they work fine and look good to me. Just mounted to the door and drilled a hole in the jamb.Danny

For a safety latchd you might check out Rocky Hinge. They have a very similar latch that uses over-centering position to hold as opposed to the external springs. A very clean, simple design with less things to go wrong, and they also have an electric model. A small family business that cares, from my experience.Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
