Has anybody installed the Hendricks door latch? Looking at the website they sure look nice.

I believe they are supplier of main item in the IFlyRV10 handle kit.
If I had it to do over, I would not do the flush handles, as much as I
like the concept and appearance. Too much force needed at poor
leverage angles. Also greatly complicates installing Sean's 3rd latch
system, which IMHO should be mandatory.

They work great but u have other choices too. My Hendricks latches took a bit of modifying and some other flush handles not as much.
Sorry doing this from cell at airport.

We had zero issues installing Sean's latches with the Hendricks flush door latch after the face. Both work well for us.

I installed the iflyrv10 handles and later Sean's 3rd. Latch. I had no troubles installing Sean's latch after the fact and both are working perfectly so far.
In almost two years and 260 hours of flying both of these after market products are performing at or above expectations. I too agree that Sean's latch should be mandatory.
If I was to build another -10 would I use these products again? Absolutely!

Bruce, I used the Hendricks latches on my –10. I am really please with how they work, look and feel. I did my my own internal handles though and discarded the ones that came with the latches. Also you need to make your own internal push-rods to drive the door pins from the latches, that’s not part of the latch kit. Additionally, I used the rivet-head receiver blocks in the door jambs. I think those are critical to ensure the door latches properly.

Kelly,
I bought a hendricks door handle originally, but found that at 1 3/8
thick, it was bigger (thicker) than I wanted. I redesigned the handle and
pitched the idea to hendricks to make us a
custom handle better suited to the thickness of our RV10 doors. He declined,
so I started to make the thinner bodied handles and kitted it up to supply
the hardware required for installation in an RV10.
The design has been used in the hot rod industry as well, and its proven to
be a reliable platform. I have always personally manufactured all of my own
parts, until recently, I have started to
enlist the help of some of my advanced students on certain parts.

Thanks for all the feed back, but I forgot to mention that I have already installed the Van's latches and was wondering about a retrofit. My Van's latches work very well, but are just ugly. Now that I have the plane flying I am picking away at the things I am not happy with. Thanks again

I would replace them if you don't like them, I did. Pictures of my install are on Hendricks web site.
How you feel about your plane is important also.
