hardware/design for plywood track case

[duburban]

I built some cases for the primary parts of my tilesaw a while back and they still don't have hardware to latch the boxes shut. I thought i could easily adapt some hardware to my design but nothing is "just right". I need to build a case for my tracks, 55", 75", parallel guides, and two clamps out of 1/2" ply. Can anyone recommend general design and hardware for latching the unit before I start building?

heres the boxes i never got latches on.

You could easily use a hasp lock.

Here's one that would go around the corner but still conceal the screws:

If 'locking' is not necessary but just securing it, you could take a piece of leather from an old belt and make one that would wrap around the corner and secure with an eyelet of sorts.

On the topic of crates I have been looking for the metal components that have seen on plywood shipping crates. It a metal banding dose around the edges and can have locks and hinges. It's neat stuff but I can not find it and do not know what are the key search words. It looks like an integrated bunch of hardware. Sorry if this is vague but the case in this thread reminds me of these style of crates.

are you saying hardware for metal shipping straps?
