I am making a timber drop-down loft access and am wondering what type of catch to fit. I find that the type of catch that you turn with a pole are very expensive, upwards of £15 with postage, though probably very reliable.
Another type one can buy, and they are quite cheap, are those that require the access hatch to be pushed up to release. Having had no experience with these could someone who has please advise me if they are reliable or have any drawbacks. I note that one type incorporates a nylon roller whereas others seem not to. I wondered if one is better than the other.

if you use a "push latch" your draught excluder iff fitted needs to be spongy enough to cope
