Product review (2 stars): Item not as described, latch does not hold dryer door
In the product picture is a plastic latch and strike, different from the latch and metallic strike i received. So i tried to make the best out of the situation and proceeded to install the latch and strike. Unfortunately the door would not hold into place without exaggerated force, and even then it would pop out after a few seconds. After inspection i realized the strike, which is in a pear shaped form, does not join together at the stem leaving the two metal pieces a few mm apart. So whenever i close the door the strike is not properly inserted into the latch, in order to stay in place.
After numerous attempts to fix it with pliers, the strike broke apart. Next time i will avoid metallic strikes (or products with misleading plastic latch kit pictures), and spend the extra dollar if i have to.
