    Door latches for fiberglass doors

     



    Anyone have any suggestions for what door latches I should use for my fiberglass doors? Just want to use something small and lightweight that is a simple straight forward design. kind of a "no frills" latche that would be easy to find and cheap

    Doors are for my 69 gto

    I use Bear Claw latches on Glass doors, they work great.

    I've heard of 'em, but never used 'em before.

    Sounds like a legal contract for people who don't wear clothes.

    I use them on everything, never have had a problem with them. The mechanism works very smooth so that if you want to put solenoids and poppers on a car, the latches will work good with the solenoids.

    So I guess that whole thing about ''Sounds like a legal contract for people who don't wear clothes'' is just an ol' wives tale HUH Dave??? HEHEHEHE

    ummmm. I believe that only applies to ex-Iwegians living in Illinois now. But anywho, is an old wives tale anything like an ex-wives tale? Just wondering.

    Yeah, the ex-wives tale is usually false too. Just ask either of mine.
