Most of our kitchen drawers have the original spring steel latch at the bottom center of the drawer face. The ones you just lift up slightly to open drawer - lock automatically when you close the drawer. One of ours broke, and I would like to replace, but having a hard time finding a source. I have tried every Google search I can think of - no luck. Anyone ever found a source for these simple, effective little devices?
PS: Yes, I know there lots of other kinds of drawer locks, many of which work well. But I have always liked the way these spring latches work, and they have (up till this one broke) done the job fine, so would like to continue to use them. Just need a source. Thanks for any hints!
Chuck, when I get home next week I will look in my parts box. I have replaced five of these now on kitchen drawers where I have gone to self closing slides and a grab catch like FT used on many of the vertical doors. I never throw anything away so they are probably out there. Send me a PM with an address. I'll donate a couple to the cause.
If Roger doesn't have one, FOT parts dept does.

Thanks for the replies!
Rich, I figured FOT might have them, but also thought they might be available from some source on eBay or Amazon...
Roger, thanks for the generous offer! PM sent.
Rich, FOT has them and they are not expensive. There are two versions, one short and one long. I got two of each and the shipping cost more than the parts. Good luck.

I always thought that Foretravel made them and that they were unique to Foretravel. Does anyone know if Foretravel buys the bent spring steel latches?
