Control panel clamps?
botman:
Does anybody have any URLs to clamps to hold down a control panel other than the Happ Controls one?...

I tried seaching on google for "cabinet fasteners", "panel clamps", etc. but didn't find anything anywhere near what I was looking for.
I was hoping to find something that was a little more adjustable since the Happ one doesn't seem to have much adjustment with the mounting holes (although that could be fixed with a dremel tool). :)

I think they're the same kind but you can check

Well, after some more searching around I found something closer to what I was looking for (but I didn't know the name of it). Apparently it is something called a "draw latch", like the ones here...

...at least now that I know the name of it, I should be able to find some a little easier. I guess knowing is half the battle. :D

Yup...draw latches are pefect for holding down the CP--it's what I use on mine.
