Questions about LavaLock® clamps compatible with Oklahoma Joe's Smoker Lid Latch Kit for Longhorn, Highland, 3 in 1 cook chamber lid 2 pack

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

How do you install these?

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

Do these open all the way to 100 degrees?

Answer: Yes they open all the way

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.

Product reviews of LavaLock® clamps compatible with Oklahoma Joe's Smoker Lid Latch Kit for Longhorn, Highland, 3 in 1 cook chamber lid 2 pack

Amazon Customer : Works great

Easy to install

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.

jonathan robertson : Great kit bad hardware

Great product and works as expected. It helps seal in the heat with the additional lava lock seal. Only problem is they sent the wrong hardware with the kit! Check the hardware or it will make installation 10 times harder.

Marleen Cornejo : Good latch wrong bolts

Came with bolts to big had to buy new ones.

Moe Moe : Sadly

Sadly this did not work out for my trager I have the 34 series. I gave it 3 stars because of that. Had this worked out I would have given in it 5 stars. Sorry for sounding petty.

Pete : Worked with my custom smoker

While it says it is intended for Oklahoma Joe Longhorn smoker, it installed easily in my custom smoker with 1/4" walls. I was concerned the provided screws would be too short, but they were perfect. My only ding is that the red rubber handle covers slide off the latch very easily. I might add some glue to it. This wasn't enough to lower the rating though.

The latch is strong enough to secure my warped smoker cover.

I would buy again.

Kristin Brown : No mounting hardware

Did not come with any mounting hardware as stated it would in description

Bernard : Trop petits

Trop petits

Coullion : Missing half the hardware

Missing half the hardware

Ryan W. : Not plug and play but do work

Here’s the deal, these things get the job done but it’s kind of a pain to get them installed. The holes are not piloted correctly and need to be drilled out to 1/4 inch. Then the holes that are right next to the hinge need to be drilled out almost as an oval in order to get the bolts to pass through. That’s why I’m giving it a 3; they work well after install but there’s definitely more work on my end that didn’t need to happen.

tim keenan : Good mechanism. Bad rubber ends.

The mechanism for these patches are very smooth and give a good positive engagement when you operate them. The rubber ends unfortunately do not hold up very well. I have only done two smokes with these and both rubber ends split and are falling off. Still a very nice latch set otherwise.

Lewy : Bolt size do not match the hole size.

They (clamps) work fine, however the included bolts are not sized for the clamp mounting holes. I had to drill them out to 1/4 thread size.

cg : NOT for longhorn.

This will ONLY work for the longhorn on the smokebox. The left edge of the cook chamber is only about 1/4". Mounting this on the right side would keep the grill side from opening because of the overhand on the clamp's back.

Zeke : good built

none

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.

jonathan robertson : Great kit bad hardware

gerod logan : Simple to adjust

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

Lewy : Bolt size do not match the hole size.

They (clamps) work fine, however the included bolts are not sized for the clamp mounting holes. I had to drill them out to 1/4 thread size.

Kelly Schmidt : Perfect for the money

Easy to install , work great

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.

Amazon Customer : Very nice

Only gave them a 4 star because the red plastic covers need to be glued on.

Daniel Brannon : Wrong hard ware messed up my smoker

The hardware that came with did not fit the screws and nut were too big. Would have been nice to figure out before I drilled the holes
to fit the screws. Had to drill out the hardware to fit a d front screws could not go in. BEWARE

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

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

Adam & Dawn Wells : Perfect

Had them installed in no time and they really helped hold the heat in.

Amazon Customer : It fit's the sides on the Higland, others are too wide.

It took me a while to find the right size latches for my Oaklahoma Joe Highland smoker.
Other ones look like these but the base where you attach beside the door of my smoker were too wide and people were only using 2 of 4 bolt holes...
These ones fit well, are adjustable for pressure, work well and look good.

gerod logan : Simple to adjust

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

Cuz : Good product

Works great

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.

Amazon Customer : Very nice

Only gave them a 4 star because the red plastic covers need to be glued on.

cg : NOT for longhorn.

Tera Brooks : Works great easy to install

Easy to install, holds lid shut evenly, works great

andrew duckett : No instructions

No instructions included. Fairly certain I have to drill holes in order to install. If that is the case wish it would've said something in product description.... if it did I would've never bought it as I am not trying to drill into my new smoker and hope it works

christopher cramer : Eh

Rubber pads falling apart after a week

Rebel Yell : Cheaply built.

Easy enough to install with no instructions. Clamps cheaply put together. After installed one of the latches wouldn't stay closed during the fitting process to measure out the distance needed to place the plunger, the arm ended up bowing out and bending allowing the plunger to fall out. After using vise grips and washers it finally worked somewhat like the other one. Probably could have gotten the parts at lowes cheaper and it be stronger. But it was $20 and I didn't have to deal with timmy in a red vest up my ass asking to help me, when he doesn't even know the difference between a standard and metric, just because I'm thinking do I just need to hold the lid down tight enough or do I need to hold the lid down so tight I can use my smoker while driving down the freeway..... what other parts will I need to do that.

Zeke : good built

none
