1 Pair Bronze Mini Swing Arm Clasp Latch Vintage Style Left Right Toggle Hasp Hook Metal Catch Curved Buckle for Suitcase Jewelry Box Toolbox 42x37mm

These latches are made of nice material, well finished, and they seem to be quite sturdy. I used one as a hasp for the doors on a cedar butsudan, a shrine, for my daughter. She loved the butsudan, and the hasp.

This works as expected and was easy to install.

they look great, function fine, but the screws could be a little deeper, being so small and close together a light tug from a kiddo who didn't unlock it will pull the hole side from the wood.

These swing locks were just the right size and had the features I liked to secure the cushions on our outdoor wicker storage couch. Before there was a slight gap to close the seat, now all is tight and looks very classy with brass name plate on front. They swing fairly easily and appear to be sturdy and heavy duty enough to hold. Would recommend.Update: One of these broke as of end of 2022. It is outside and I know metal corrodes. Had hopes it would last longer than 1 yr. The other is still holding.

Easy to install

These are OK, made from mostly solid metal and not pressed tin like the competition. The problem is that these are made from cheap pot metal, which is not a strong alloy. So don't stress these too much becauase I suspect they will not hold up.

I'm prone to buying little decorative touches for my house. Not long ago I bought a bellows for my fireplace that looked all rustic and quaint (despite my fireplace being gas). The bellows is nice, but has no latching that will hold it closed. I bought this clasp to install on the handles of the bellows to keep it closed and I have to say the clasp looks like it's original to the bellows. It fits perfectly, was super easy to attach, and works exactly as I'd hoped. Now I just have to figure out what I'm going to do with the second clasp that came in the box. Maybe I'll make a matchbox to go on the mantle and use the second clasp on that, just to give people yet another reason to wonder why I have so many wood-burning accessories for a natural gas fireplace.

Nice looking small antique bronze ornamental swing arm latch, nice accent for your woodworking projects. Don't expect it to be something it was not designed to be. It is ornamental not a security lock. Any child can figure out how it works in seconds. Adults might take a bit longer :)Left/Right hinges, needed if you are using two latches on opposing sides of a jewelry/keepsake box.Recommend installing an adhesive felt bumper between the carcass and the door/window. Then gently squeeze the door/window shut with a clamp slightly compressing the felt bumper.With the clamp in place use a #3 Vix centering drill bit and position the hook piece of the latch on the surface where you want it, hold in place with two way tape or by hand as you are comfortable. Now, just start a hole with the Vix bit. The screws that come with the latch are like 1/4" long, so just start a hole with the Vix bit, maybe 1/16th inch deep.Use a hand screw driver only to put the first screw in, adjust the hook piece of the latch to final position and Vix bit drill the other hole, install second screw with hand driver. Position the catch piece of the latch with the hook through the hole, repeat the above, install the screws one at a time, repositioning the latch after the first screw is installed for final positioning. Voila!I purchased two more for my hardware inventory, I know I will use them on future products.

The latch on the left on photo the leaver was peened incorrect as you can see you can just about move the lever it's now in the bin
