Bought a galvanized gate latch at HD. Made in China. Came with six galvanized screws. Three of the six screws had the Phillips slots so gummed up with zinc that I couldn't get a bit to drive them.
Probably should have returned it just to make a point, but, didn't want to wait in the return line for 20 minutes. Instead, went to local hardware store and bought six SS screws for $1.25, which will stand up better anyways. Chinese technology - bah!.
