Sir Auros,
you can find these brackets along with the kitchen cabinet brackets, usually nex to the magnets brackets...
Artifact,
I like the "long screws" + nuts solution :cheers:

i would have visible screw heads though... still open to ideas for an invisible soution - the clip picture above seem like a good solution - how hard is it to pul open, and how do you call this type of clip?
i have to go buy some supplies at home depot anyway.. ill check for those there :)
is this hobby fun or what? ;)

If you are referring to my recommendation, those are call cabinet latches. Most arcade use them to secure the cp to the cabinet. divemaster and others sell them. Once clip and lock, your cp is totally secure and almost impossible to pull open. I would say they are the best you can get to secure the cp with all options considered, probably why real arcade cabinet use them.

like superbigjay said, they are in the hardware section, near the hinges and other cabinet hardware.

You have too nice a cab to have visible screws on the CP!!
The latches you are asking about are usually simply called CP latches. Divemaster has them, Randy I think has them, Twister Quarter, Bob Roberts, etc.
They hold good, and aren'y too hard to open. Normally you would mount them in a location that you can reach from your top coin door opening.
Hope that helps.

I used small angle brackets, like ones to hold shelves, and i used a machine screw with a t nut. It doesn't budge, and unless you crawl underneath and look you don't see the bracket at all. Works very well.
