I'm after some latches (maybe toggle clamps or similar) for various
uses out of doors (cupboard doors, chicken house, sheds, etc) and I;m
having little luck in finding anything suitable at all.

I've tried the usual Screwfix, Toolstation, CPC, Farnell, etc. and
have not found anything like what I'm after. I either want some
big[gish] toggle latches (much bigger than Screwfix or CPC have) or
maybe some sort of elastic loop and hook arangement.

Can anyone suggest suppliers of this sort of thing?

Can I take this opportunity to nominate the traditional rabbit-hutch latch:

as the poorest piece of design one is likely to encounter?

Why is it so perfectly balanced when it so obviously needs a bias
so gravity tends to keep the door latched?

They seem to stock all the same sorts of things I can find elsewhere
that I don't want. They have the standard suffolk/norfolk latches and
'automatic' gate latches but I can't see anything much else. They do
have one possibly useful toggle fastener:-

but I'm really after something like this in stainless steel and/or
with rubber/elastic parts.

Same as Isaac Lord, a few toggle latches (called Cabinet Case Latches)
but nothing in stainless steel or really suitable for outside doors.

Yes, that's the sort of thing I have in mind, thanks for the link.
They're a little pricey but not too bad I guess.

I'm sure I've bought such things in the past from RS
