I need decent looking hatch latching hardware. Something better than the grey HD galvanized steel latch you would use on a barn door. Looking for an internet order source.

I think I'm going to use some of these http://www.dyersonline.com/pc-2529-27-b ... -pull.aspx

I just received a dead bolt rod lock from Austin Hardware. It seems very well made.

Jim, How can you go wrong for nine and change. I'm a ways from building my hatch, but that looks good. :thumbsup:

ken, i built a box to cover the hardware. i maded the lid where it could be removed for maintance. i used the luana drops from the kitchen, that way it would match. it looks really neat.

I've used two interior "cab latches" (lower photo) with "T" handles on the exterior.... (one on each side about 8"inboard)
