Source for twist-latch?????

[mvweebles]

Anyone know of a source for svelte turn-latches such as these I spied on a Nordhavn?

I'm told they're available from a supplier for aircraft and well over $100/each. I could use a couple dozen.

NOT these though - they are fine, just won't work for inside cabinet retainers



Thanks in advance

I found these: https://www.amazon.com/Halder-24100-0101-24100-0101-Silver-D1-M6-Bolt/dp/B07GG3MCGG?th=1

Still too pricey I think. I’ll look further.

I’ve found several suppliers of this style latch. Some aerospace, some marine. All seem to be fairly expensive as they are quarter turn with friction or spring loaded positions. I guess that’s for anti rattle, which seems like a good thing.

Many thanks Bmarler. I'm usually good at finding this type of stuff but kept coming up empty. $30/ea is a lot as I need about 20 of them, but a helluva lot better than $100/ea. The aircraft aluminum ones sure look nice though. I'll order one of the $30 pieces and see.

Peter,
I found these in McMaster. Plastic, much cheaper.

Some of these are just zinc coated.
