Questions & Answers
The hook is approximately 2 inches long. The overall length of the piece is 4 1/2". It's of a high standard.
It's made up of only two parts - a hook, as well as a loop into which the hook can latch. Because the hook is so mobile, it can be used for almost anything as long as you have places to screw both pieces in place. In a moving vehicle, however, don't expect it to be completely secure - If it is bounced around too much, it can easily unhook itself.
The eye sticks out a half-inch from the wall.
The staple protrudes nearly 2 centimeters above the mounting surface. You'll have a good 5mm of clearance after that. If you needed even more space, you could try routing out the mounting surface to recess the staple's base, which would give you at least another 2mm of clearance while still looking neat and professional.

We needed to keep some sick kittens separated from the rest of our pets, so we built a barn door, only to discover that the kittens were strong enough to push it open. As a result, we needed a simple, stylish latch that would not detract from the overall appearance of the door. Strong enough to hold the door in place against light to moderate pressure, but I'm sure it could be ripped out of the wall by someone who is really strong. The latch is very sturdy and long-lasting, so if you need something that can withstand a lot of pressure, just use longer screws.
It looks a little more bold in the up picture. That's exactly what I needed. So, while I consider this to be a slight exaggeration, it is still deceptive. You got four stars because it's still a good product; I'm just a little bit duped, as I am all too often on this site.
I was up against two obstacles. One was to keep my side gate's latch from slamming into and shattering the window next to it. The other was to keep the gate open when I needed both hands to carry something through it. So I buried a short 4x4 post at the desired maximum opening width, then installed this cabin hook to keep the gate open when needed. br>br>The end result is clean, neat, and professional (much more so than the half-assed version). I was keeping the gate open with a brick).
The hook and hasp are very well done. Unfortunately, the screws were chinked out by the manufacturer. The supplied 8 5/8" Drywall screws were used in place of decorative screws to match the decorative nature of the hardware. El Bargain. The drywall screw had a matte finish that clashed with the piece's gloss black. I understand that the item is inexpensive, but why not charge an extra buck and bulk order some nice-looking screws?.
This lock is enormous, as others have pointed out, but I like the way it looks. My only concern was that on this type of door, if the square mounts were hung at the same height, there would be a gap (it's on the inside of a bifold door - see photo). An old laundry room has been transformed into a small office/guest room. This appears to be resolved by hanging the "eye" mount slightly higher than the hook mount (as shown in the photo).
This is the solution for barn doors that need to be locked, but if you need to get someone out from the outside, just slide a ruler or chopstick between the door and the hook and lift up. It's a fantastic option for those of us who prefer barn doors for our bathroom doors! Note: Before you put the door in, paint the trim and door!.
I reordered, expecting to receive a hook that was identical to the one I received in May 2017. This hook was a little less expensive, and it was a little thinner and less durable. I believe it will suffice, but use caution when using Amazon's "order again" feature - It's possible that you won't get exactly what you're looking for.
This hook and eye would have been perfect for my sliding barn door if only it had worked. Someone claimed that the eye was only 1/2 inch deep in a question and answer I read. It's only an inch deep, and it's too bulky for my door to work properly. Because it will catch on my doorway trim, it will prevent my door from sliding all the way open. I had hoped for a depth of 1/2 inch. Although this was not the case, the product is well-made and well-worth the money.
