rbtmshl Report post Posted December 14, 2014 Hello, I recently received some of the round briefcase locks from Abbey England, and I was wondering what you guys use to attach these locks to your leather. I've seen a couple of folks on these boards use these same locks, but I'm having a hard time finding hardware with a thin enough post that is also long enough to fit through the front plate of the lock, 8-10 oz of leather, and the back plate of the lock. Let me know what has worked for you! Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
