My bolt in Bear Claw latches

Well I got the latches in yesterday. It came with detailed instructions and a template to cut out the door to allow for the installation of the latching mechanism. I taped the template and then made the cuts with a jigsaw. I would recomend putting something between the jigsaw and door to prevent scratching the paint. Which i was a little late doing so some touch up paint is in my future. The template is goot to get you close but I had to do a bit of grinding to get it pefect to fit the latch. I also had to cut a hole for the new handle arm to pass through. which is also in the instructions. then everything was pretty much just follow directions and bolt in. I am very happy with everything and my door closes pefect everytime with little effort and opend even easier. Is it worth $300, well if you dont want to do a lot of touch up paint and are tired of fabricating then yes. Photos to follow they are decompressing
