Okay, let me start by saying this latch is BUILT. That SUS304 stainless steel? Chef's kiss. After 6 months of salty sea air (and my toddler's daily escape attempts), zero rust. The oil-rubbed bronze finish still looks fancy on my front door.

The dual chain + slide bolt is genius for paranoid parents like me. My little Houdini can't squeeze through the chain gap, but I can still peek at delivery guys. Though fair warning – the spring-loaded button requires adult-level strength to slide open. Toddler-proof? Absolutely. Elderly-friendly? Maybe not.

Installation was... an adventure. Had to chisel my doorframe like some medieval carpenter when things didn't align perfectly. The hollow frame made screw angles tricky – one wrong move and the whole mechanism sits crooked. Pro tip: measure seventeen times, drill once.

Major con? That damn chain snapped during a windy day when I left the door ajar. Now I've got this beautiful heavy-duty latch... with a floppy chain accessory. Considering supergluing the pin back because otherwise, this thing's a tank.

Final verdict: 4/5 stars if you're moderately handy and need Fort Knox-level toddler containment. Just don't trust that chain in coastal areas!
