Two-Piece Hidden Positioning Latch, 45 x 20mm, for Boxes

Two-piece hidden positioning latch, 45 x 20mm, for trunks and jewelry cases by Maya Metal. This concealed alignment latch is designed for handmade trunks, keepsake boxes, jewelry cases, small trunks, and craft cases that need a hidden locating catch.

The two-piece design helps align and close a box lid while keeping the hardware less visible from the outside. Use it for box making, woodworking hardware, restoration, custom packaging, and small case projects where a cleaner exterior is preferred.

Before ordering

• Confirm the 45 x 20mm latch fits inside the lid and box body without interfering with hinges, lining, dividers, or contents.
• Measure wall thickness and lid thickness so screws or fasteners do not break through the visible exterior.
• Mark both latch pieces together before drilling because the catch and receiver must line up accurately.
• Use this hidden latch when a cleaner exterior is more important than a decorative front clasp.
• Test lid closing pressure before final finishing; a misaligned hidden latch can hold the lid crooked.
• Match silver or gold finish with any visible interior hinges, screws, corner fittings, or decorative hardware.
