Exactly what I needed

I was having issues with the original latches keeping my door closed all the way, as well as having to slam the door to ensure it latched correctly. This caused my side windows to crack in several places over time. These latches were scary at first due to cutting the corner of the door, but once they were in, they close so smooth now. I should have done this years ago. I highly recommend these.

1 million times better than original

I really like your latches I purchased a set for my 69 C-10 and they work great. The ones for my 48 ford are the same great quality. The only thing I don’t like is it takes a lot of input pressure to release the latch. I have lubed the C-10 and it has gotten better. I just installed the 48 ford today and they work great. I really like the billet striker mounts adds a quality custom look.
