Looking really good!

Good stuff! I'll do it as well just for insurance.

For no more than it took me to do it I felt it was good insurance, maybe someone who has built one without the backing plates will chime in and let us know how theirs worked out, it may be fine.
I used the same latch and used 1/4-20 countersunk Phillips head screwswbegg wrote:I'm using the large Kason slam latch. Any idea on what size screw to use to attach?
