I installed these folding cleats on a 19' bay boat and I was impressed with the quality as soon as I took them out of the package. The high quality 316 stainless steel has a smooth, polished finish, and the cleats feel solid and well made. They flip up easily when needed and fold down flush with the deck, which helps keep the area clear and reduces the chance of catching a foot or line on them. The included mounting hardware is a nice bonus and made installation straightforward. Note they are backed by washers not a reinforcing plate. These cleats are clearly intended for tying off at a dock but no type of lifting. Once installed, the cleats provided plenty of room for securing dock lines and felt sturdy under load. Overall, these are high-quality marine hardware that combine a clean appearance with practical functionality, making them a great upgrade for a boat, dock, or other marine application.
