Topic tags/keywords: hardware latch

I’m trying to find latches like these. Note the long throw on the top of the crate with the 90-degree turn on the front. Amazon searches have me coming up empty.

There appears to be a few importer websites that show them as well, but I would trust those even less. http://www.krautgear.com/Large-Latch-Catch--WWII-German_p_160.html http://www.blitzbikes.com/id40.htm https://www.frontlinecrates.com/products/ww1-ww2-german-crate-catch-and-latch-set
