Locking down the lid of a control panel

Pages: << < (3/4) > >>

CheffoJeffo:

I used velcro on my cocktail CP boxes, but they don't experience much violence.

The CP on my showcase uses a "push in" lock (basically pushes a 3/8" pin through a bracket on the lid to lock it down). The lock looks like a regular barrel lock once pushed in.

Cheers.

EDIT: Pictures added

Lilwolf:

CheffoJeffo, where did you get the pushbutton?  I like it a LOT!

I did almost the same for my control panels.  But I used wood and have two pegs that I put in. 

Its not too bad, but I would love to have something that didn't require finding the pegs.

Came with the cabinet (bought at auction) ... hadn't seen them before. I would expect that *somebody* must stock these as they really are the only option I can think of for securing a showcase on location.

Cheers.

JonnyBoy:

I decided to go with a few of those cabinet latches. I can get them discounted at work (we sell Stanely products) and I'll put one on each side. It'll add a nice professional touch. I'll give you updates on how they work out.

Extreme8:

I think I'm going to ditch the hook and loop fasteners and go with something like this.

Doesn't get much stealthier (is that even a word?) than that.
