Prime-Line M 6015 Hinged Shower Door Catch, 1 In. Hole Centers, Stainless Tip (Single Pack)

I ordered this shower door latch instead of other, seemingly lower-quality versions, because of the picture on Amazon and the metal components. How could I go wrong with that, right?Not only did the unit I received not quite resemble the one in the picture (in such a way that, if I had known what it actually looked like, I might have reconsidered my purchase), it was designed in such a way that it completely failed to function. The spring and contact mechanism within the latch are surprisingly basic and uninspired (a weird thing to say about something so uncomplicated). Even if there were some semblance of quality craftsmanship within the unit, once installed, it loses all ability to perform its duty. This is because the metal housing compresses against the moving part at the front when the screws are fully tightened, preventing it from sliding properly. I tried modifying the opening with some pliers, which did widen the hole enough for the business-end of the latch to move freely, but the design is so terrible that it still won't work.The problem is in the way the tip is allowed to very loosely shift forward and backward, as well as in and out. The tip should be reinforced with a slot of some sort so it can't allow any shifting in the action as the door is brought across its surface. The Amazon picture shows a solid tip, but the unit I received just has a piece of bent metal, which reveals the system's frailty.I consider myself to be a fair and balanced individual, and I hardly ever review products because I don't think my voice needs to be heard. In this case, however, I would like to at least try to warn people that my experience with this product has been highly disappointing. I know this is a silly little piece of hardware, but it serves an important purpose, and when that need is far from met (meaning your shower door swings open unless you clamp it shut), it's hard not to want to say something about it.Think twice, people. That's all I can say.

Very easy to accidentally turn the catch mechanism backwards or sideways when you are working with the door. If it does get turned around, it won't work unless you dismantle the catch and fix it. That's not difficult, but it is annoying. A better product design would eliminate this negative possible side effect.

My shower door is supposed to magnetic, but the magnet doesn’t seem to keep my shower door closed anymore. I got this to keep the door shut, but after a couple of years, I had to buy another one ... and then another one. These don’t last very long, but I end up reusing the screws so it ends up being a 5 minute fix at $6 every few years.

Easy to install and able to keep a heavy plexiglass door with metal frame shut. I used this to replace a much older, defective door catch, and the fittings were spaced perfectly, making this an easy switch. The screws this came with were also high-quality, and I expect this door catch to outlive the rest of the bathroom!

The latch mechanism moves in and out, however it also moves side to side, making it unable to catch on anything. Way too much tolerance inside so it is totally ineffective. DO NOT BUY THIS PIECE OF CRAP.

It keep popping out at the slight touch like the one I am replacing. I have to double up the springs (reusing the old unit's spring) to make it hold the door when subjected to reasonable force.

Easy to install. Better latch than plastic one it replaced. Holds shower door more secure.

This thing is complete garbage. Looks like the latch it was supposed to replace... but - doesn't function at all. The latch portion isn't strong enough to latch so it just releases the door. I guess they bank on people thinking it only costs a few dollars so it might work for them (the original latches this thing is supposed to replace are incredibly hard to find)... Don't buy it. Find either a decent replacement or an other alternative.

This item (M 6015 Shower Door $7.44) doesn’t work, useless ! Amazon should stop selling this. It might be cheap & minor item., but its just a piece of crap, few more of product like this can tarnish amazon’s image.
