Q:

Does anyone know what size screws I need to get? Judging from all the reviews it looks like I need to go to a hardware store to get the correct size.

Answer: Mine came with the screws

Q:

What is the measurement of the base Length x Width ( the part with the two holes ) ?

Answer: l 1.5 in x W 1 in

Q:

I need to order a replacement tip. Help!

Answer: I checked as best I could when I bought mine and could not find replacement tips. My guess is you have to buy a whole new latch.

Q:

will these work on other smokers like char-grillers thanks

Answer: Yes. Any smoker door. They are adjustable too. Center punch your drill hole locations and have at it.

Answer: I don't see why not

Answer: Yes

Q:

Can I use jb weld to attach these to a smoker?

Answer: The standard JB Weld is only good for 300 degrees max. That’s too low for me, especially if smoking hot and fast. They make an extreme heat version that is good to 2400 degrees. I installed these on my smoker using nuts and bolts.

Answer: If jb can hold up to the temps, possibly. I drilled small holes and used the hardware, it was quick and easy.

Answer: I don't believe so. The latches hold pretty darn tight when drilled in. I've never had an issue with smoke leaking through them if thats what your worried about.

Q:

How long is the latch

Answer: The rubber bar portion is 3 inches long and it works well for what it is meant to accomplish, which is help seal the door as long as you have the heat resistant rubber seal.

Answer: 4 1/2 inches it says in the description end on any barbecue mod site as well if you do not buy the gasket there’s no sense in buying a set of lashes you might as well go ahead and buy all of the accessories that you need to mod your smoker A one time note Amazon does not sell tuning plates

Answer: They are brilliant just remember they're two different styles vertical and horizontal make sure you get the one that suits your purpose

Q:

How do you install these?

Answer: Each latch has 4 holes. I used 4 nuts, lock washers, and bolts per latch.

Q:

Do these open all the way to 100 degrees?

Answer: Yes they open all the way

Q:

Do the rubber tips melt when the lid gets hot?

Answer: I bought mine because the tips are neoprene rubber and should be more heat resistant than regular rubber. Mine are installed on a Cuisinart charcoal smoker, and I have had no problem with them melting. As long as you don’t expose them to extremely high heat , which you should not when smoking food, I don’t think they would melt.

Answer: No, there has been no detrimental impact to the rubber tips from the heat

Answer: No they do not

Answer: No.

Joe : Keep the smoke INSIDE your smoker.

Great way to make sure your smoker stays shut tightly once you install the gasket material!! Must have for the backyard aficionado.

Jake : No Hardware

Works as it should and is a great addition to my smoker. However, the hardware was not included. The product description stated it would come with all hardware needed to install.

John McCaffrey : Work as advertised

I used self drilling screws rather than the provided nuts and bolts to install the clamps which made the installation easy. The clamps secure theud nicely and are a necessity if you have gasketed the lid if the smoker.

SaxplayernTX : 1 BIG thing missing...

What; no instructions?????

gerod logan : Simple to adjust

Fits nicely on lip of my Oklahoma Joe Longhorn reverse flow smoker easy to install

raymond tuason : Hardware does not fit pre drilled holes

The quality of the product looks great but the bolts that were provided do not fit the pre-drilled holes. They're slightly to big.

Fish : Hardware doesn’t work with supplied latch

Update - Customer Service team is very responsive and is sending the correct hardware.

The hardware supplied with the latch does not fit through the mounting holes. After boring the holes slightly to fit the hardware, I still cannot fit the bolt head or nut between the cam pin and the mounting bracket to install. Appears hardware was changed without testing. Do not purchase until this is resolved.

christopher cramer : Eh

Rubber pads falling apart after a week

Brian Savage : Included incorrect installation hardware.

These clamps were shipped with hardware 2 sizes too large for the pre-drilled holes in the clamps.
I had to use a drill but to resize the holes to accept the hardware.
Once I did that I realized that the bolts included were so large that the heads rubbed together once they were installed, preventing them from being turned smoothly, the same with the nuts on the backside as well.
By the time I noticed this I had already drilled my smoker so it was do or die.
I had to hammer 2 of the bolts in place on each clamp as the clamp itself obstructed the bolt heads. Luckily I didn't break them.
Once I did that I had to tighten one side of the nuts in each clamp and then use an end wrench to make tiny tightening motions until the buts rounded themselves off enough to allow them to tighten properly. Luckily the nuts were a soft enough metal to do this.
All in all it took about an hour of extra work to install these.
If lavalock starts packing the right hardware in the kit this won't be an issue for anyone else. My advice is to check the fit thoroughly before you drill. I would have much rather taken a trip to the hardware store and get smaller hardware if I knew it would be this big of a hassle.

cocomm4 : brilliant

work perfectly. be sure you know which to order

Amazon Customer : Brilliant ????

Awesome product, perfect footprint for the OKJ cookers. Toss the stock hardware. #8×1/2 self tapping screws work awesome.

Danelle B : Great value fir the cost

Added these clamps to my Oklahoma Joe’s Highland grill and they immediately did the trick. After identifying the area where I was losing heat and smoke I placed the clamps in the area. They were really easy to install.

Joseph A Izzolino : Broke before I even used it, stay away. It's a way of money

Terrible, missing parts, and broke before u even used it

Jerry L. Shaw : It works to cut air flow.

I installed a set of these on a Charbroiler offset smoker. The smoker is great but needed better air flow control. Without these latches it's difficult to ensure that air flow is minimized through the lid closure. These work especially well with the sealer strips.

Dominick Moretti : Great Product, supply your own hardware

Product works great. Can’t give it 5 stars due to the fact that the bolts that came with the clamps were too big, and wouldn’t fit. I had to put everything away and go get the correct bolts to continue the project. Not too big of a deal, but a major inconvenience.

SmittysTX : Design defect and short screws

Normal thickness of the Highland would be fine, but the lip welded to the inside makes it too think for the screws provided. Also, the adjustable hold down clamp is two pieces that spread apart when the nuts are tightened. See pics. I added a couple lock washers but regular washers might help better. This should be one piece, not two.

Daniel Lawrence : A must for any avid smoker.

Super easy to install and when coupled with some felt door gasket they really seal up my Oklahoma Joe Highlander. Definitely would recommend.
