Next message: Greg Bowers: "T&T: Antigua"
Hi Marin -
I'd approach this hardware with caution. We had a need to replace 2 Perko
flush lift rings and bought what I believe to be Victory pulls from Budget
Marine here in Trinidad. Nicely finished and identical to Perko but stainless,
which is actually preferable to chrome. However - the inner edge of the ring
is sharper than the Perko and very uncomfortable on the finger. We took them
back.
Regards,

> We stumbled across some door hardware in a marine shop in Bellingam,
Washington marketed under the "Victory" name. They have door
latching hardware, with and without deadbolts and with and without
key locks that are virtually identical to the hardware made by Perko,
except the Victory brand is made in 316 stainless steel. It's made
in China and seems no better or worse than the Perko mechanism. We
have installed this hardware on our main cabin door (external key
deadbolt) and aft cabin door (interior deadbolt latch only) in place
of the original Perko plated hardware that was corroding and lifting
the plating badly. Since the internal operating mechanisms are
identical, I can't say that they represent an improvement over the
operation of the Perko hardware. But they should hold up better.
They are a drop-in fit.
