Steve Warman Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I'm trying to find some latches that have a sliding, rotating end but can't figure out what theywould be called. The best description i can come up with would be that something slides onto the latch and the end of the latch then has section that rotates to form a 'T' shape to stop whatever has been slid on can't come off. To get the whatever off the latch you then have to rotate the end again so the whole latch is in line. Any body got any idea what they;re actually called??

steve_d Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 And then get a couple of those plastic clips like you have on a dog lead. Hook them on the bottom of the antiluce to stop them coming undone when your trailer goes over bumps. Ask me why I know this is important.

Orgasmic Farmer Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Having had the tailgate on my sheep trailer come open i couple of times i now always keep a refastenable cable tie on the latch and thread it through the bottom when its fixed to stop it working loose.

Bowie69 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 They are called antiluce fasteners You can pick them up at most agricultural supplies places, in weld on or bolt variations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_d Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Why do you know this is important? The latches jumped open on my trailer. 1. The whole load I was taking to the dump scattered across the road. 2. The tailgate is removable by sliding it sideways when open...so it also went across the road and destroyed all the lights.
