    Shot blast cabinet door latch

    Hi All
    On closing the door of my shot blast cabinet the door latch fell apart from wear and tear. My first thought was to just buy a replacement but trying to get an exact match was impossible and I didn’t really want to drill additional holes. So the only option was to make a new one.
