And you're right, I also heard the term latch lock. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schnappschloss is empty. Schnappschloss seems to be a wide word covering all sorts, English has more words than German, so probably a selection of pictures offers best way to choose best word for the function. A latch is not similar to a deadbolt though. A latch is weaker. A latch is spring loaded, or gravity assisted. https://www.google.de/?gws_rd=ssl#q=Schnappschloss ... Pictures The silver, one from right end, is a snap lock. The brass at far right is a latch. http://www.ebay.de/bhp/schnappschloss http://www.ebay.de/itm/Oberlichtschnaepper-Edelstahl-Optik-Federriegel-Schnappschloss-Fensterschloss-/331887421951 "Latch" http://www.ebay.de/itm/4-x-Schnappschloss-mit-Ose-gross-97x50-mm-Kistenverschluss-Spannverschluss-/360829984297 "Snap lock" May be OK, or maybe Catch, (I'd be happier with the word Lock if that picture also had a tiny hole for a key (as mine does, crappy key but it is then a primitive lock. http://www.ebay.de/itm/2pcs-3-Spannverschluss-Kofferverschluss-Kistenverschluss-Schnappschloss-Latch-/351691384246 "Hasp" http://www.diy.com/departments/blooma-galvanised-steel-tower-bolt-l102mm/307467_BQ.prd http://www.diy.com/departments/yale-deadlock/ http://www.ebay.com/itm/15-2cm-ZOLL-TURM-BOLZEN-TURSCHLOSS-SCHUPPEN-GARTEN-TUR-/301978902053 "Dead bolts" PS Wouldnt suprise me if British & American & other speakers of English had different words for some of those things. (I'm English but decades in Germany so not always entirely certain translating back) Cheers, Julian -- Julian Stacey, BSD Linux Unix Sys Eng Consultant Munich Reply below, Prefix '> '.
