dicko Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Hello BOTL's, I'm looking for some suggestions, even sources, for very small cigar box/ jewellery box latches that I can put on dress boxes that have no latches. I find the dress boxes annoying as they don't often shut properly once opened and once the box is finished I like to use them for odd bits & bobs around the house (screws, nuts and bolts etc, pens). Any suggestions? The habanos latches would be best (i like the leaf motif on them) but realise that might be hard to come by. Thanks in advance. Dicko

Fuzz Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Go to a crafts store and buy some snap tape. Glue it on and you'll have a little pull tab.
Ryan Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Some of the examples on this page look quite nice. Some. https://www.etsy.com/market/latch_lock/2 A little bit of googling will find you chinese copies of the Habanos clasps from 15c - 20c a piece. I don't know if you want to support that kind of thing. 1

Geo17pip Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Take the little nails out and stack boxes on top of boxes and the weight will keep them shut except for the top box. That one you can choose a box that has a latch. But I guess you can go to one of those craft or hobbie stores and see if they have them. Maybe a hardware store as well.
Nedule Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 I put rubber bands around my boxes, quick, easy & cheap. 1
avaldes Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 That Schmale link shows the exact clasps used on Habanos boxes!
