Source for repalcement hasps for cases?

[jcwillow777]

I have a friend that needs to replace some hasps on an older case. I can find chrome/nickel ones all day long, but he needs gold. If you know of a source I would be very grateful.

 

Thanks in advance.

Sounds like your friend has two choices: go with chrome or else buy a new case.

How about a home-improvement/hardware store?

Thanks guys.

 

I've thought about replacing everything with chrome, that may be the ticket. A new case is out of the question for him now, he can't afford one. It is a really big case for a guitar shaped like a Flying V / Explorer combination (it's a D**n).

 

I'll check out some hardware store too, I hadn't thought of that. I have found more stuff that I have needed in small hardware stores than I have in Home Depot.

JC.

I think you meant brass plated (BP). I was able to find a BP plated steel draw catch

used for cases at Lee Valley ( a local h/w supplier) here in Ottawa. They have a web

site customerservice@leevalley.com and ship to the US as well as all over Canada.

 

The size is 2 1/4 inches long by 1 1/2 inches wide

and it requires 5 screws. They look similar to my LP guitar case latches (2 1/2 x 1.1/2,

but not exact of course. The catch is spring loaded to prevent accidental opening..partno #00s70.01

($5.60 cdn a pair). Unless you can find the actual part no of the orginal latch, the hole spacing

for the mounting screws (or pop rivets) will be different for most latches.

Thanks Dan, that's just what the doctor ordered. And yeah, I know they aren't gold plated, I was in hurry. Thanks again.
