Where to buy - Toggle latch

[Sprockett]

Any one know a place in town that sells latches such as these:

I bought one at Acklands / Grainger not long ago.

Check thier catalog , there are several variations.

[Dragonmaster]

Strongco supplies

[Sprockett]

Thanks guys, I guess it's not the type of thing I was gonna find at HomeDepot.

Princess Auto had one in their catalogue a few months back, but it wasn't a 90' one, it was a horizontal one and I don't know what the quality or rating was.  I wanted to check on it myself.

I checked PA and they didn't have anything like that on shelf anymore. Thanks though,

Did you ask?  Red Deer PA has some last week.

I'm gonna have to check the Lethbridge Store.  Does PA actually call them toggle clamps?  Or are they all going to look at me crazy when I ask for them?

Print a picture, or mention the red plastic....see if that helps them.

And yes, quite possible they will look at you like you are crazy.....

More and more, the people who work in places that sell hardware and related supplies don't have a bloody clue what they're selling. I wasted over 90 minutes in a Canadian tire looking for heat-shrink tubing. Most of the employees didn't have a clue what I was looking for - had never heard of it. I eventually asked the general manager of the store, who said that they didn't carry it, and then HIS boss (on a stoe visit) finally showed me where it was. 

I got the same runaround when I went looking for wood putty (because my carpentry skills are seriously ghetto, I can't get by without it).

The big chains are almost useless. Had great luck at Campbell-Mack on 12th St NE.

I've found Canadian Tire is brutally horrible for hired help.  Then again I imagine they pay bottom dollar for their staff and get what they pay for.

Looked up 'Toggle Latch' on acklands site. Came up with a few variations, none exectly like what I had here or need.

If I try these other places like Strongco/Campbell-Mack, what do I refer to this thing as? Are these just places to try or have you guys bought one from there? Most people just have no idea what I am talking about.

Thanks,
Ryan

Try Gregg's. Across the street from Standen's.

You may have to spend a half hour looking at their catalog, but they'll probably have something that will do the job.

Try calling it a cam lever latch.
