Trash Chute Latch Plunger for Midland Style T Handle. 1-3/4, & 1-23/32 inch Backset Round Tubular Brass Barrel Cylinder Bolt Replacement Part for Laundry and Garbage Intake Doors.

This item worked as described. It was easy to install and the chute door was functional within minutes. The fire inspector was happy.

This is not a terrible plunge latch, but not as good as the original one (from the 50s. However, in my experince not many modern mechanical parts measure up to old-school quality). Works fine so far (after a week). The latch head and back wedge are loose in the mount. I imagine the chute and keeping it oiled and will stop it from skewing enough to stop it working. The chute was just its flange-depth longer than the antique. So, if you are replacing an old one be prepared to file almost an eighth inch out of the hole for it to line up with your handle shaft. After searching online for a day, this is was my closest affordable option.

This was purchased to repair a laundry chute door at a nursing home.Was exactly what was needed perfect replacement part

Works well just what I was looking for this door is very old

As expected
