I looking for a utilitarian version of one of these more ornate spring surface latches. They will be used on a cabinet that goes in the back of a van to hold video equipment.
The drawers are currently held shut with common slide bolt hardware, however I'd like the convenience of the spring latch. The basic design of the above is right, however it is much too ornate. In addition, I'd like something a little tougher as some of the drawers will be opened and closed several times a day.
Thanks for the help. http://www.paxtonhardware.com/products.asp?dept=8

Sorry. I edited and added the site. I wanted something that latches automatically when closed.

I've seen some other latches just like the second latch. The one I saw was actually very flimsy and didn't look very beefy at all. I saw it at Lowes. I was afraid it would break without much use, but it's the right idea. Maybe something with a solid latching rod.
