Default Home made hinges and latches for small boxes

I inset some magnets in the bottom half and steel pieces that
lined up in the lid on a few peices. Velcro is hard to beat for
utility type boxes.

I would like to make some hinges and latches for some small
wooden
boxes. Since I have some leather, that seems to be a good
choice for
the hinges, but I'm looking for some ideas on shop-made latches.
Doesn't need to look pretty, as these boxes are for protecting
small
electronic measuring devices that are showing up in the shop.
