Super smooth! It took me a while to find the correct latch for the mailbox I ended up asking my mailbox neighbor if I could peak at his and, luckily, his latch was imprinted with the same number. Once I identified the correct latch, position and direction, it was a cinch! Honestly, the directions weren't very useful, but I've done this once before, so prior experience slowly returned to my memory.Once installed, the lock was a bit smaller than the pre-cut hole, but not enough for me to be concerned. And, the lock itself is SO SMOOTH! The last replacement lock I purchased was sticky from the factory start. Similar price point, completely disparate quality. This is an excellent lock. I'm glad I purchased the 2-pack, however, I doubt I'll need the second.
