Case Catches & Fittings

A well-made case, box, or chest is only as good as the fittings that keep it closed, held, and handled properly. At the DIY Hardware Store, our case catches and fittings range covers the latches, hinges, handles, and corner fittings used to build, repair, and upgrade wooden and metal cases, tool chests, storage boxes, and instrument cases.

Case catches - also known as box catches or chest catches - are the sprung or cam-operated latches that secure a lid in the closed position. The most common types are the butterfly or wing catch and the recessed push-to-open type, both of which provide a positive closure without requiring a key. For lockable cases, hasp-and-staple fittings accept a padlock.

The range also covers the matching hinges, corner guards, carry handles, and lid stays needed to complete or restore a case - whether you're building a bespoke toolbox from scratch, repairing a damaged instrument case, or upgrading an old wooden chest with new metalwork.
