Before ordering
- Choose this medium T-lock for medium trunks, suitcases, display boxes, and structured leather cases where a large trunk lock would be oversized.
- Check the lid-to-body gap and alignment. The clasp should close without forcing the lock tongue sideways.
- Measure screw-hole placement, front plate clearance, key clearance, and panel thickness before cutting or drilling.
- For repair work, compare the old lock footprint and screw-hole layout with the new clasp.
- Add reinforcement behind the mounting area if the wall is thin, soft, or leather-covered.
- Match silver or gold with handles, hinges, corner guards, rivets, tacks, and other visible trunk hardware.
