Members wolfeyes Posted May 22, 2018 Members Report Posted May 22, 2018 What is the proper name of these latches? My google-fu has reached its limit. Quote
Members leathersmyth Posted May 22, 2018 Members Report Posted May 22, 2018 Those are/were locks that were found on leather gladstone bags.... They were usually brass. They hook into a loop on the opposite side of the bag. Have made lots of cases that used those in te past... Quote
Members wolfeyes Posted May 22, 2018 Author Members Report Posted May 22, 2018 Hi Leathersmyth, Do you have a source for them? I am redoing a Gladstone bag, but may need to do more. Bag was going to be for me, rare occurrence I make something for me, but jealous eyes are watching progress. Thinking I could make several if I had a source for similar hardware. Thanks, Quote
Members cantsewstraight Posted June 6, 2018 Members Report Posted June 6, 2018 Hi Wolfeyes, Have you looked at McMaster-Carr. They have tons of hardware, including latches. While their hardware is more for industrial uses, you might find something there that will suit your needs. This link for a window latch that, sort of, looks like what you want. https://www.mcmaster.com/#standard-window-latches/=1d61rq4. Good luck, Rob Quote

Members wolfeyes Posted June 13, 2018 Author Members Report Posted June 13, 2018 Thanks for the replies. I will check both places. Quote
