(2-Pack) 2-3/4 in. x 1-1/2 in. Bright Brass Chest Door Latch

Hi Home Depot Customer, Yes, this latch should work for a chest where both sides are made from 2x2 lumber (1.5"x1.5"). The Everbilt Chest Latch has a product width of 1.51 inches and a depth of 0.37 inches. Since the lumber is 1.5 inches by 1.5 inches, the latch's width is very close to the lumber's width, allowing for a suitable fit. The included fasteners are #5x5/8" F/H tapping screws, which are appropriate for the 1.5-inch thickness of the lumber.

Yes, it will work on 2×2 (1.5"" × 1.5"") lumber. Just note: Space is tight, so alignment must be precise. Pre-drill holes to avoid splitting. Not ideal for heavy or high-use lids. It’s suitable for light to medium-duty chest use.

The clasp side of the Everbilt 2-3/4 in. x 1-1/2 in. Matte Black Chest Door Latch (2-Pack) is designed with a surface-mounted latch type. While the product details do not specify the exact number of screws for each side, it is common for such latches to have fewer screws on the clasp side compared to the base plate for ease of use and installation. Here are the key features of the latch: - **Material:** Made of steel - **Finish:** Matte black - **Pack Size:** 2 - **Surface Mounted:** Designed for easy installation on trunks, storage chests, and boxes - **Fasteners Included:** Comes with the necessary screws for installation If you find that the clasp side does not feel secure enough with the provided screws, you can consider using additional screws or different fasteners to ensure it is firmly attached. Always ensure that the screws used are appropriate for the material of the chest or box you are working with. [This answer was generated by AI and verified by product experts.]

It sounds like you might be having trouble with the alignment or installation of the chest latch. Here are some steps to ensure proper installation and operation: 1. **Alignment Check**: - Ensure that the latch and the catch are properly aligned. They should be directly in line with each other when the chest is closed. - The latch and catch should be flush with each other and the bottom surface to ensure smooth operation. 2. **Installation Steps**: - **Step 1**: Position the latch on the chest lid where you want it to be installed. Mark the screw holes with a pencil. - **Step 2**: Drill pilot holes for the screws to ensure they go in straight and don't split the wood. - **Step 3**: Attach the latch to the chest lid using the provided screws. - **Step 4**: Close the chest lid and position the catch on the chest body so that it aligns with the latch. Mark the screw holes for the catch. - **Step 5**: Drill pilot holes for the catch screws. - **Step 6**: Attach the catch to the chest body using the provided screws. 3. **Operation**: - When the chest is closed, the latch should engage with the catch smoothly. If it doesn't, double-check the alignment and make any necessary adjustments. - To disengage the latch, you should be able to lift or slide it (depending on the latch design) to release it from the catch. If the latch and catch are not flush or if they are misaligned, the locking mechanism may not operate correctly. Adjusting their positions slightly can often resolve the issue. If you continue to experience problems, it might be helpful to refer to the installation guide or contact customer support for further assistance.
