Instead of zinc hitting the steel latch receiver it's steel on steel and it actually sounds different.

Checked out the old assembly and didn't find any indications of pending doom immediately visible.
With that said zinc is weak and brittle and tends to go all at once. I also didn't completely disassemble the latch to inspect .
Can you tell any difference in shutting/opening? Or, just 150.00 piece of mind?
