Hello all-
I am dusting off my tools and wanting to make a jewelry armoire. Basically will look like a fancy dartboard cabinet from the outside with drawers and hooks on the inside. As I finalize the design, I want to prepurchase the hardware to be sure it all works.

Here's where I need help. What kind of lock will work best for securing two doors together? I've been checking out rockler but am not seeing anything decorative that would work.

Am planning on a walnut case with tbd bookmatched veneer on the front.... Am thinking pewter toned hardware if I can find it for lock/hinges/handles.

TIA

I made a jewelry box for my wife last year. I put two small rare earth magnets in the doors to hold the doors shut. I placed thin wood plugs over them so they don't show. They work well.
