My daughter rescued me by forcing the door. I was not familiar with how the handle and tumbler latch worked but with enough investigation decided to get this latch. It works ! And only £3 can you believe! Review: Did the job - Bought these to replace some very old ones in the house. Fitted into the old slot perfectly and work fine. Only dropped a star because the piece the bar fits into is plastic, don't know how long it will last, maybe years. ## Features - Warning:Not suitable for children under 3 years.
