I don't know specifically, but I bet it would technically be a latch. Try doing a search on draw or toggle latches.
Try also push, pull, and toggle clamps. Some manufacturers blur the lines distinguishing one type from another.
thanks that helped a ton, its called a "draw latch"
[thumbsup]
somebody break a tool box?
better yet, did your toolbox fall over, and the proceed to have blazing hot fast food waste dumped directly on the aforementioned latch?

Someone backed into it, the top expanded, and now it won't latch.
While it was down on the sidewalk, it got a parking ticket.
negative i just need to find a way to close the door to my oven firmly. this fits the bill. mcmaster---carrrrrr 5 pack for $10
I've never known of anyone more needing to visit an old gypsy woman to remove a curse. I don't particularly believe in any of that sort of stuff, but at the rate you're going it couldn't hurt. I suppose I shouldn't say that.
Instead of a latch that will compromise the structual integrity, could you go with some magnetic closure?
Unless you mean your powder coating oven and not some household appliance ...
I thought the latch would be for closing that box he and Pandora opened.
its for hte powdercoating oven. nothing crazy.

I just realized that my mom back in Jersey has a small kiln she used to fire ceramics in during her days as an art teacher. I could totally powder coat things in that couldn't I?
Glad you found the latches. [thumbsup]

I suspect that kiln will get *way* hotter than you would need for powdercoating.

Ceramic coat maybe?
650-700 i think is for the ceramic coating.
The oven works. i brought it up to 700degrees no problem in 1:30 seconds [evil]. I just havent done any coating yet.
Its just, i have a big problem with the heating part of it. I had a computer controlled heater, but it gave me so many issues, i ditched the idea. I dont have time to play with a new system, so i went back to the old system.....a 500,000 BTU torch, the only issue is, i have to manually control it by watching my thermocouple. Its a digital readout, so i can see how fast it goes up which is pretty cool, but it sucks that i have to baby it. In the summertime when i dont have school ill play with a new system.
I wanted to do some coating today, but i ended up getting a SICK deal. I barter some manpower to help move some items and got a 2 free o2 tanks. All i need is an acetylene tank and a torch set!

Not to be a buzz kill, but what are the test dates on those cylinders?
Do they actually belong to an industrial/medical gas supplier and were 'liberated' by backing out on a tank lease?
The point here young jedi...nothing is for nothing. ;)
He Man and torches.....I'm scared

I'm more worried about him and a 500K btu oven. ;D
You guys need to chill.
Nothing could possibly go wrong here.
hahaha,
ducpainter, that was actually the first thing i was inquiring about when i asked the person who owned them about it.
Theres no date on them, but they seem to be in perfect condition physically. I know nothing about them except they are relativity new. They belonged to a friends father who just retired (hes a doc) and said he doesnt know what to do with them.
I know a guy in the gas industry, and i think you hav eto get the tanks inspected every 5 years before you can fill them?
alright.
so I actually burned myself. i took a hanger i left in the oven out...it was 400degrees and my finger hit it so yea. that hurt. but other then that, i only got 2 things PCed because i realize i didnt have any masking tape. :(
Ohlins spring(http://kuixihe.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=305&g2_serialNumber=2)
Hockey Blades (http://kuixihe.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=309&g2_serialNumber=2)
My new Hypersmooth gun is MUCH better than the eastwood hobby gun. The eastwood just spit crap out, while this one actually conserves a lot of powder and gives a very smooth flow.
tomorrow, im going to do my valve covers, i got them sand blasted, just gotta mask it off and PC them.
I like the blades, I play out here in LA. I imagine black would look sick.
my brother's skates are painted red, so he wanted them red.
mine arent removable. so i cant really do this without destroying base lol

There is a date stamp somewhere on there. ;)
Depending on your gas consumption ownership of tanks can be the better way to go.
Just keep in mind that they need to be re-certified periodically. If you lease a tank you don't have to worry. If you buy a tank and stay with the same supplier you don't have to worry.
