Review: Appears to work well. - I bought this to secure a sliding closet door in a motorhome. The soft-close mechanism was supposed to keep the door closed, but it often opened and then the closet light would come on while we were driving. It's a very nice motorhome but they've all got these little problems. If this is the biggest problem we'll ever have, then we will indeed be blessed. The mortise: Yeah, it's possible to drill and chisel out a 1/2" semicircle but probably not worth it. Instead, use a 1/2" drill bit or, even better, a 1/2" Forstner bit to drill a circular hole. The brass plate will mostly or totally cover the hole, depending on which plate you use. My our case, the bottom of the sliding door was a good 3/8" above the floor, so we needed to add a piece of wood under the plate to make sure that the latch mechanism held while bouncing down the highway. The circle was cut into that wooden piece. In our case, the included screws for the floor part were too short. We used #6 1" Power Pro screws with Torx heads. 100 of them cost about $7 at Lowes and they come with the driver bit. Attaching it to the door: Our door was slightly less than 3/4" thick. The supplied screws were too long and would have protruded through the back. We needed smaller screws. This time, we used #6 3/4" Power Pro screws. Because of the thickness of the back of the latch, they did not protrude through the back of the door. I wanted to have the latch at the lower front edge of the door. In order to be able to see where to drill, I applied some blue painters tape on the door and while holding the latch against the door, I used a black Sharpie to mark the tape where the holes were located. Then, I drilled two 3/16" holes (as recommended) at the centers of the circles, removed the tape and then screwed in the latch. Which floor plate to use: Two plates are included. Aesthetically, I liked the thin rectangular one. LOL, if you put the latch on the edge of the door and when closed it abuts a door frame, then the little rectangular plate won't work because one of its screws would have to be inside the door frame! Got it? For a French-type door, it would be fine because the latch on the top door is never at the very edge. So, that's where the other plate comes in. Its screw holes insert behind the latch area/mortise and allows it to be placed right next to the door frame, if that's what's needed, of course. Durability and quality: It appears to be fine but I haven't used it long enough to determine how it will hold up over time. Review: Looks nice and works well - Easy to install and fit the space I had on an old door. It slides back and forth easily but it is sturdy enough to give privacy to a bathroom. ## Features - National Hardware's 4" solid brass Flush Bolt is designed to secure doors, cabinets, casement windows, etc., in a vertical or horizontal position. - Extruded brass bolt and case, solid brass strike for durability. - Surface mount, no mortising required - For interior and exterior applications - Furnished with both universal and mortise strikes. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000B4ITAS | | Best Sellers Rank | #140,749 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #318 in Door Latches & Bolts | | Brand | National Hardware | | Color | Solid Brass | | Compatible Groove Diameter | 2.25 inches | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 350 Reviews | | Exterior Finish | Brass | | Fastener Size | #10 | | Fastener Type | Solid Brass Flush Bolt | | Finish Types | Solid Brass | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00038613197985 | | Grade Rating | Grade 2 | | Head Style | Standard | | Head Type | Flat | | Included Components | 1 pk | | Item Diameter | 4 inches | | Item Dimensions | 7 x 2 x 1 inches | | Item Hardness | Grade 2 | | Item Type Name | Flush Bolt | | Item Weight | 0.27 g | | Manufacturer | National Hardware | | Manufacturer Grade | Grade 2 | | Material | Plastic | | Material Type | Plastic | | Metal Type | Brass | | Model | N197-988 | | Number Of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Outside Diameter | 4 inches | | Part Number | N197-988 | | Screw Head Style | Standard | | Size Name | 4" | | Thread Coverage | Unthreaded | | Thread Size | #10 | | Thread Style | Right Hand | | UPC | 038613197985 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | Warranty | ## Images ![National Hardware N197-988 V1922 Flush Bolt in Solid Brass - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41Feuu5dvFL.jpg) ![National Hardware N197-988 V1922 Flush Bolt in Solid Brass - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51gyMLoX6ML.jpg) ![National Hardware N197-988 V1922 Flush Bolt in Solid Brass - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71N6-5ioLfL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Appears to work well. *by J***L on September 8, 2024* I bought this to secure a sliding closet door in a motorhome.

It slides back and forth easily but it is sturdy enough to give privacy to a bathroom. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Keeps my toddler in. *by A***H on November 21, 2025* Works well, the screws hold well enough. I put this at the top of my door because my toddler can open anything she sets her mind to and we dont want her getting out and wandering off toward the road. I did have to use the flush mount option because my door isnt flush with my interior wall So it involved carving out some of the wood so that the lock can slide into place through the hole. Lining it up just right was a little frustrating since there isnt a lot of wiggle room you have to make sure the slide can go into the hole perfectly. If your house shifts during different seasons this could be an issue. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/58549046-national-hardware-n197-988-v1922-flush-bolt-in-solid-brass](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/58549046-national-hardware-n197-988-v1922-flush-bolt-in-solid-brass) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-10-19*
