Description
A die-cast zinc alloy turn lock in antique silver for flap bags and leather goods. The difference between a lock that feels expensive and one that feels cheap is not the design — it is the tolerance between the cam and the catch, and that is what we control.
Where Turn Locks Fail
Cam tolerance. Too loose and the lock rattles and releases under load. Too tight and the customer has to force it, which cracks the leather around the mounting plate. We hold the cam fit so the turn has a defined stop and a positive click.
Spring life. The spring is cycled before the lot ships. A lock that works for a month and then goes slack is the most expensive kind of complaint, because it arrives after the bag has been sold.
Screw and back plate. Plated screws strip easily. Ours are matched to the plate threads and tested for repeated assembly, so a repair does not destroy the fitting.
