IV door latches

[Dave S]

Phil,


What made the locks particularly easy was the fact that the locksmith had these in matching cylinders so both doors use the same key; and, the lock kit came with several arms of different offsets so it was super easy to match the arm with the latch. If I recall, the local locksmith called these "Cabinet drawer locks" and the cost was less than $20 for the pair - of course that was a few years ago.

If your door latch looks something like this, you’ve probably over engineered it.

That's Funny!

Thanks for the inputs - especially DesertFox4 - yours keeps the challenge at the forefront.


Dave - I like yours because it adds easy access from the outside and a lock. I'm not sure if the lock component can easily be included in a bubble window door. I'll have to make a phone call and see if any are still available.


If anyone has an approach to a front and aft lock design - pictures would be appreciated.


Thanks again.

Mine are a little more crude, but I wanted to latch in two places...

Has anyone considered rare earth magnets in the corners with a normal center latch?
