Hi All

I am trying to find a particular type or catch/latch but am having trouble finding what I want.

The type I want is like you often find on tool boxes and those metal suitcases for carrying photography equipment etc around.

You open them up and a ring/loop on one side of the lip (for example) hooks over a hook on the other side of the lid, then when you close the catch it pulls the loop nice and tight and the case/toolbox etc is held nice and tightly closed. (Why is it so hard to explain things like this?)

Does anyone know anywhere I might get some from, or even just what this type of catch/latch is called so I might have more luck searching for them.

Any help very much appreciated.

Brilliant, many many thanks, that's exactly what I'm looking for, knew they must have a specific name...no wondering searching for catch and latch wasn't finding anything...lol
