Looking for suppliers of clamps, latches, etc.

[tinnews]

I'm after some latches (maybe toggle clamps or similar) for various uses out of doors (cupboard doors, chicken house, sheds, etc) and I;m having little luck in finding anything suitable at all.

I've tried the usual Screwfix, Toolstation, CPC, Farnell, etc. and have not found anything like what I'm after. I either want some big[gish] toggle latches (much bigger than Screwfix or CPC have) or maybe some sort of elastic loop and hook arangement.

Can anyone suggest suppliers of this sort of thing?

Can I take this opportunity to nominate the traditional rabbit-hutch latch:

the poorest piece of design one is likely to encounter?

Why is it so perfectly balanced when it so obviously needs a bias so gravity tends to keep the door latched?

Flight case suppliers..Adam Hall?

They seem to stock all the same sorts of things I can find elsewhere that I don't want. They have the standard suffolk/norfolk latches and 'automatic' gate latches but I can't see anything much else. They do have one possibly useful toggle fastener:-

I'm really after something like this in stainless steel and/or with rubber/elastic parts.

Same as Isaac Lord, a few toggle latches (called Cabinet Case Latches) but nothing in stainless steel or really suitable for outside doors.

that's the sort of thing I have in mind, thanks for the link. They're a little pricey but not too bad I guess.

All indoor stuff I think.
