4Pack Spring Loaded Toggle Latch for Cabinet, Wooden Case, Box, Chest

I used these to hold down my plastic storage bench seat on the deck,

The door on our oven has a spring that is not strong enough to close it properly. I installed one of these toggle latches on each side to hold the door closed properly against the seal. I wrapped a ratchet strap around the oven to force the oven door to be closed properly as I installed the latches. I used thin double sided foam tape to hold the latches and hooks in place while I drilled holes for the sheet metal screws that were included. The sheet metal screws should work fine in wood as well. Drilling pilot holes is recommended in either case. I cut excess foam tape off with a razor blade. The stainless steel matches other chrome fittings on the oven and the latches look like they belong there.

The laches are fine however the screws are not stainless steel and have already Rusted!

I’ve used these for a variety of wooden boxes and they are great latches. They are my number one choice. Very easy to use and reliable.

I like that these latches are big enough to hold a filing box-sized lid down tight. The metal is heavy enough gauge to do the job, although you need two of them if the box contains something heavy like tools, and the lifting handle is on the lid. I don't like that I have installed two of these so far, and I've twisted the heads off the included screws twice. This occurred even thought I had drilled pilot holes and was using only a hand-held screw driver. In the future, I'll try to remember to use screw wax in addition to the already mentioned precautions. If I stumble across a cache of #6 ½-inch screws made from better steel, I'll throw these cheap, weak screws away. If the manufacturer had spent an extra couple of pennies on better quality screws, I would have rated it a 5. All that being said, I'll buy these again because they were the largest clip latches I found on the Amazon website.

Latches look & worked well for my boat lid/hatch.

worked great, smaller than expected, but i should have read the description more carefully.
