Control Panel hook clamp latches
notbillcosby:
You know the hook clamps that hold down the control panel in your machine? The little piece that it hooks onto is called, i think, a "strike." I need a whole bunch of them for my various control panels. I can't find anything even remotely close to it at any hardware store in town, although it seems like it'd be easy enough to find a piece that would work in place of this... but I guess not. Does anyone have a good source for them, or have some they could part with? Below is the specific part I'm talking about, but any L-shaped piece of metal with a square hole cut in it would really do, I'd think... $2.44 a piece seems kinda steep for what they are.

How about this latch from Twisted Quarter?

That'd certainly do... But of course they don't seem to sell just the piece I need! They do, a Midway one, for twice as much as that whole latch and loop part. I'll email them. Thanks!

Does anyone have any experience with the Economy Latches for $1.25 from Twisted Quarter? I want to clamp stuff down pretty tight without bending the hooks out of shape, obviously... how light weight are these things?
