Some time ago I needed some drawer latches, and someone on the forum gave me a lead on a place to buy them in bulk???? Actually, I don't need both pieces, but would buy them that way if need be. I need the part that is on the drawer itself..I'll call it the striker, that goes into the grabber piece affixed to the frame. I don't know about all of you, but I seem to have some break on every trip! I just paid $3.99 for one set at a RV Supply store, and I know I bought them a year or so ago, in bulk for a lot less. Since I can't remember yesterday all that well, there is no way I can remember last year!!!

SacsTC:

What a good idea - this looks a lot more solid than the plastic ones.

To fit on our cabinets and drawers you will have to rotate the "catch" part 90 degrees, thereby needing some sort of angle piece in order to make it work.

Did you fit these already and how did you rotate the "catch" part (assuming that your exixsing catches are similar to ours)?

There is of course the possibility that the "catch piece" still can collect the "pin piece" when rotated. This would eliminate the need for an angle or other sort of modification?
