Where do you buy thumb latches?

Bill S. Jun 26, 2004 12:00 PM

I have a plastic cage with a large acrylic door that's warping, so I think a couple of thumb latches are in need to hold in in place. Where should I look for them?

Thanks!

Bill

Hi Bill,

I found some at a Woodcraft Store in the Indianapolis area when I was living there. Any specialty cabinet or wood-working shop may also have them.

I once found a nylon wing-nut where the wings were flush with the base. These would also work. However, I have failed to find them any other time I have specifically looked. Nylon wing nuts are easy enough to find, but finding the flush ones must have been an accident.
