Door latch

Postby Psychohillbilly » Sat May 06, 2006 7:48 am

Good morning to all,
I found my round to-it and construction has resummed on my tear.
I have things pritty well figured out but I am a little fuzzy on the door
latch. The sides are 3/4 ply with 3/4 door I want to use a traditional
latch from Big Bear but I am not sure what kind of striker to use and how
to install it. Any help or different ideas (with pictures) would be greatly
appreceated.

Bump

I'm coming up on this problem as well. I've got 1/2 in walls and am going to use the repro hardware from teardropparts. I could call George again-he's been very helpful, I just hate using his time. Beside this way more than just one person will learn how :thumbsup:
