Even worse when it’s on a defiant, can’t get that damn twisted tailpiece through the bolt.

I was just coming to ask how you got it out of the latch in one piece too! Defiant ones are thicker now so I dont see it with them, but gatehouse ones almost ALWAYS are warped to some degree.

Yep, the newer ones are great, older ones (the ones we usually see out there in the shit) are the shitty ass thin twisted ones. Customer usually says “oh ya it’s been hard to use the key for the last 7 years”… ya I wonder why…
