I'm not having much luck with google today. Lee Valley's hardware catalog

I could rig something up, surely, but it would be easiest to replace the
original latches with similar parts.


Look for briefcase hardware. I've replaced several briefcase latches
and I think they are identical to the ones on my son's trumpet case.
(too far away right now to go look)

As for building the case, you might also look at briefcase plans (I
think Rockler has them) the basic idea is similar and it should get
you going in the right direction at least.
