What are these latches called?

[air8]

Hi everyone.

I'm building a 48" tall cabinet and was wondering what these 3-point latches with the rods top and bottom are called?

 

[1/2 Cup]

We call them "Espaglette" rods or three point locks, quite often seen on electrical cabinets.

I need to replace a similar latch on a tool cabinet I'm cleaning up.

I don't know the name b ut they are common on office cabinets and tool cabinets galore. I plan to canibalize from one of those thats junk.

Dave.

I think you answered your own question. Multi point locks or latches.

locking rods

We put those on service bodies. It's usually specified as 3 point locking system with T-handle latches.

When those locking bars get old and start jamming I tend to call them f**king useless
