I have them on inset cabinetry in my kitchen. I have a couple latches on full overlay doors (in another room) where there are two doors that meet up together. This provides an even surface to install each piece of the latch. If you have a full overlay door that doesn't have a nearby surface for the latch (at the same level,) I can't imagine they'd work.

I love ours. They are from Rejuvenation.com / Rejuvenation Hardware. They are expensive, but every single latch worked perfectly.

lolauren- can you post a picture of your full overlay doors with the latches?

Sure. Sorry, the cabinets are partial overlay, but that shouldn't make a difference for this example.

Unlike my inset cabinets and regardless of the latch being closed, I can open these doors by pulling the doors forward (see attached photo.)

i have latches and love them. they give a vintage look i wanted and also keep the cat from getting in the cabinets which was also needed!

mine are on inset cabs, also rejuvination. looked at restoration HW ones but not made well, rejuv's are much better. as stated above, they are not cheap but you get what you pay for. and hardware is so visible in the kitchen - can be the jewelry - so i chose to spend in that area.

Thanks for the picture. Are they butt doors?

Hi Moby. I remember Slush working out cab latches for her overlay doors. I found the thread which should help with your questions.

Most people who seem to love their latches got them from Rejuvenation.

Here is a link that might be useful: Slush's thread on latches

Thanks Breezygirl. After I posted this, I went out to google and found that thread. My big worry is I do not have inset doors...they are full overlay and not butt doors. The million dollar question is...will this work?!?

Slush cabs were not inset. They are Ikea and overlay. I'm guessing that she didn't follow up on that post to show the latches installed. In a thread after that, she showed her latches installed and said they worked great. She was glad she went with them.

Wait, were hers not butt doors? Thought they were.
