Ripped it apart. There was an old broken chunk of spring steel in there. No idea where it was being used.

Shiny old chrome trailer with nice rusty latch and padlock.

Not sure which planet I live on, but I honestly thought that elephants fed like cows with some kind of udder....I had no idea that they breast fed just like us. This baby is latched on!!

This is the latch on the basement door to my house which was built in the 1950's. It actually reminds me more of a storm celler then anything but I thought it made a pretty good idea for today's picture.

Easier to clean with the latches removed.

Even though sliding doors often are reasonably secured, it is still important that your door’s latch be working at its best. Bits and pieces can easily get lodged inside and jam the mechanisms of the locks, or the locking mechanism can break down with use over the years.

Door handles come...

Our closet door wouldn't stay shut because the old latch was jammed. No spring, it seems.

 

Another shot. The protrusion on the left is the latch.

The theme for Connecticut Draft Horse Rescue last year was "Barns" giving a nod to their capital campaign to build one to shelter their magnificent rescues. I knew just where I wanted to go to get this shot.

 

Taken at Strong Family Farm which is a small farm in the center of Vernon, Connecticut. Established in 1878, it is the last historical farm in operation in Vernon today, and their Big Yellow Barn is a local landmark.

The is a vertical piece of sheet metal that is cracked on both sides of the top left clearance hole for my latch assembly. This piece of metal connects (spot welded) on the top side to the horizontal piece which is painted better. Today I noticed that it connects (spot welded) on the lower side to a vertical member that goes down kinda far. I think I'm going to need to remove the front bumper to get a better look. Hopefully I won't need to pull the radiator.

Nothing new, just a new way of looking at it. This is an old gate between my front and back yard. The latch keeps the dog in, but wouldn't keep anyone out, not without a lock. It's the dog's job to keep people out.

Aaron, a Military Working Dog, latches onto the bite suit worn by Master Sgt. Christopher Mood during a Military Working Dog demonstration at Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan on July 22, 2012. The Military Working Dog handlers brought their dogs to the flight line to give demonstrations to the Airmen of the South Carolina Air National Guard’s 169th Fighter Wing from McEntire Joint National Guard Base, S.C., deployed to KAF in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. Swamp Fox F-16’s, pilots, and support personnel began their Air Expeditionary Force deployment early April to take over flying missions for the air tasking order and provide close air support for troops on the ground in Afghanistan.

Picked up a latch hook kit from the craft store because I wanted to give it a go. I found it really interesting to do and I can't wait for my next latch hook project.
