latches

We learned the hard way that the cabinet door latches aren't up to the task on our last outing. The boat was sailing beautifully with a reef in the main and 15 - 20 knots on a starboard tack just shy of being close hauled. Down below was a different story. I thought my wife was just grabbing...

After a verrrrry long time trying to figure out something that would both look good and be functional as well as rugged, we finally installed latches on our new hatches. They work really well, keep the hatches dogged down, and don't look half bad. We obviously haven't quite finished yet...

I'm sure that isn't the right name for them which might explain why I haven't found them by Googling :-) I'm talking about the plastic ones, like the ones in the attached pictures. I'd like to get a bunch of them to replace the metal ones on Senta II. Any ideas ? Thanks, -Sven

I installed some stainless steel locker latches after we got KOKOMO last year. We like these because they are flush, self latching, and have a primitive key lock for a little security. The starboard cockpit locker had a hasp but the lazerette lids previously didn't have anything. The...

Does anyone know of a place to get replacement latches for the push button drawer latches that came on the 1985 E32-3? Thanks in advance.
