Looking for lock for Gerstner Chest.
Furnished content.
(from WoodNet.net)


I have two different sized Gerstner Tool Chests, both missing the front panel that holds in the drawers for transportation, and folds under when in use. Neither is these chests will be overly valuable when done. One was vinyl covered (needs new covering) the second was also missing a drawer. Point is I don't want to spend "big bucks" on locks. Gerstner has original ones for $75.00, which is too rich for me.

The front panels are 1/2" thick, and there isn't much room behind them. I am looking for lower cost locks "similar" to the one pictured. (that is not a Gerstner). It should be kind of a dead bolt style that mortises into the panel. I've looked on Amazon, and Van Dykes, and haven't found the right one. I only need close, not perfect.
Got any ideas? Maybe a sliding latch?

Thanks
