Where to get Panel Clamps?
« on: November 21, 2021, 11:44:01 am »
I need 4 of these things and I'm not sure what they are actually called.



Doesn't have to be this exact one - just some sort of clamp that works the same way.  Preferably something sold at Home Depot but I'm not sure what my search terms should even be...

Catches or toggle locks are the terms I find results from.

You can get this style at home depot in stock.

This style doesn't seem to.be stocked.

I just ordered them from Arcadeshop.  I was hoping to find something similar at Home Depot since I was just there but all they had were those chest locks and I wasn’t totally sure they would work.  Both were $4 so I went with the originals.

I just hope they arrive in the next week.

As a backup or in case you'd rather get em sooner, try ace hardware.  This looks like the right style to me.

I recently bought these off amazon for my project, haven't actually installed them yet but the nice thing about this design is they're adjustable for length.

They're currently unavailable but the same type is sold by other sellers I just bought the 30 pack cause it was the best deal and i want to make multiple control panels

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08R221ZDB

very cheap less than $1 ea when I bought them but your mileage may vary with the way things are going supply chain + inflation.

You can't really go wrong buying the ones they used on the original machines just the cost stacks up when you're planing a half dozen panels X2 clamps.
Anyone got change for a dollar?
PLEASE HELP NEED Fastmame .70 and .9* releases

I've used this style clamp as well. Seems that there is a factory in Thailand. I couldn't find the other type locally.
Check out my completed projects!
