Classic Systainer locks (latches)

[jcjahner@bektel.com]

Do you make parts to convert the Classic substainer  locks to the new center locks?  I'm wondering if you make latches to convert the boxes to the new style.

As far as I am aware, there is no such part that will make a classic to function like a t-loc.    They are entirely different animals in how they are designed.  One of the major differences is the backs on t-loc latch together automatically when stacked correctly allowing the need to only latch the front.... classics require you to manually latch the backs and the fronts together.

Yup, not possible.

I'm going to see if someone can use a 3D printer and make a catch for the back and the front bottoms then use the new latches

Let us know how that works out.

Welcome to the forum!  [smile]

You will need to use a T-Loc latch on the front and the back somehow, or a front latch with some other connection at the back. Besides the catch at the bottom you will need a mounting point for the T-Loc latch at the top.

Don't forget that the T-LOC systainers are HUGELY reinforced inside the lid to handle the forces of the T-LOC fastener. This  webbing/reinforcement doesn't exist on the Classic Systainers, and will create a weak point which will make them - IMHO - totally unsuited for conversion.

There are plenty of people who still find the Classic Systainers desirable- I'd suggest you sell your classics and just upgrade to T-LOC's.

I can't see a 'conversion process' turning out easy, affordable, or well...but do what you want.
