Hey everyone, I'm new to the whole case mod thing and i was wanting to do a very first mod of my own .. starting off small... i want to put a door on the side pannel.. ive got it all figured out apart from the fact that i need some sort of handle or lock or something and i hav no idea wat to use... please post some pics of doors with handles or tips please!!! much needed!
thanks all, Greddy

you know what would be realy cool? those magnet things that some cupboards have, where you just push the door and let go and it pops open, then you just shut it and it stays.
that would be amazing!

Hmmmm ... That is quite an idea . .. . . *mind ticks over*
I'm thinking a sort of lever with a lock... hard to explain.. its the sort of thing u'd see on the side of an instrument case etc.. i have one and it does the job quite nicely BUT once again i'm still in planning so please ppl pics, ideas or anything is much appreciated

I just picked up a Cabinet clip for under a buck at the home depot. Add hinges and viola!

The cheiftech Dragon case has a nice locking handle.

Or you can use a bar lock like the front cove on my rack mounted case (see 1st picture)
