: Wow, I was just looking at those latches this morning and wishing someone
: else would try them out. I think they should work well. Go for it!

: --KT--

The more I look into this, the more confused I get. I talked with two of the "Authorized Distributors" in Atlanta. After a bit of confusion about which I wanted and the proper model number (we never really figured it out), I was quoted a price of $70!!!

So I called the company's main office, and they were extremely helpful. I was quoted a price of $24 (still not great). They also offered to send me a free sample to try out. I'll be sure to post the outcome.

Anybody know if you can just use 2 latches for a hatch?
