I purchased one of these Vevor drill dispensers for $55 and I'm super happy with it but like many things it needs some work to get it how I'd like it. So I replaced the bad labels, added foam inserts to each sections so the bits wouldn't wander around too much and I added a lot of staineless slugs I had floating around to the back so it wouldn't tip when pulling out the top drawer.
The only thing I'm still struggling with is latching the drawers shut which is needed in my application. I have those little latches like you can see resting on the 1/2 label, I was thinking about riveting those to the far right under the handles so they're mostly out of sight with a small l bracket with a hole on the right of that for the pin. I also have some piano hinge I was going to rivet to the right side and just fold it open to block the drawers with a little level to swing down and keep the piano hinge from moving.
There has to be an easier way though since I can't get rivets in that tight of space and the piano hinge I have is too narrow anyway so, any thoughts?
