could someone please instruct me on the innerworkings of a touch-latch? these are commonly found on entertainment centers and cabinets that have glass doors. i believe the term is ‘touch-latch’, and have even seen them called magnetic push-latches. when you depress the lock mechanism, it is pushed into a core, and then snaps into place. when you push it again, it releases and returns to its extended position. i am a woodworker, and a interested in make a homemade version. i make all of my locks custom at home with neodymium magnets. however, if i can learn how the spring snapping mechanism works, i may be able to combine that type of push lock with a cam-lock, or even a time-lock. thanks.
