Small T-Lock Clasp with Key for Cases & Boxes
Small T-lock clasp with key for cases and boxes by Maya Metal. This stainless steel lock clasp is designed for small cases, mini trunks, leather cases, luggage repair, and handmade storage boxes.
The smaller T-lock size works best on compact projects where a full-size trunk lock would be too large. Check the lid and body alignment before installation so the clasp closes cleanly.

Before ordering
- Use this small T-lock for compact boxes, mini trunks, small leather cases, and repair projects where a full-size trunk lock would look too large.
- Check lid-to-body alignment before drilling. The locking tongue must enter the receiver smoothly when the case closes.
- Confirm panel thickness, screw length, and interior clearance so screws and lock hardware do not interfere with lining or contents.
- For replacement work, compare the face size, screw-hole layout, and key clearance with the original lock.
- Use reinforcement behind the mounting area if the box wall is thin, flexible, or made from soft wood or leatherboard.
- Match the silver or gold finish with hinges, corner guards, handles, rivets, bag feet, and decorative tacks.
