Homemade Drawer Catch - Making you own hardware

My Premier Project Plans: paskmakes.com/...
My Free Plans: paskmakes.com/...
The project I'm working on at the moment is a set of drawers for the back of my truck. There will be a video for that but it was getting a little too long. So I decided to show this homemade drawer catch in it's own video. The video is a little simple but I thought it may be helpful to somebody and to also show that it's possible to make your own hardware.
The truck drawer video should be out in a couple of days time.
As always I'm happy to answer any questions.

Just a note to express my appreciation for taking the time, ( I know how much time it takes to shoot and edit video) to produce these very informative, easy to understand tutorials. After watching your truck drawer video I built one similar for my 2001 Ford F150. It's perfect for my needs & I could not have done it without the insight you provided. Thank you from California!

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks Stephen - glad it was helpful to you! :)

[@ROBOROBOROBOROBO]

6 years later, I am in love witrhg this simple and genious design.

[@joshramsey6893]

I made a drawer box for my truck a year ago but couldn't find a good lock mechanism. The skateboard bearings and tube steel are perfect and my drawer slides super smooth. This is drawer catch is amazing. I'm going to build one right away. Great videos...I'm officially a subscriber.

[@kostasfaidas9085]

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT YOUR VIDEOS IS THAT YOU EXPLAIN EVERY DETAIL AND THAT IS VERY HELPFULL FOR US AMATEURS GOOD NIGHT FROM LESVOS GREECE

[@PaskMakes]

Thank you Kostas! :)

[@martinoamello3017]

I like the little latch. I'm building a little library for the neighborhood and nobody seems to want to cough up even a latch much less a piece of lumber worth a darn. However since most of the local residents are elderly people or getting there I want to make it as easy for them to use as possible. This video gives me lots of ideas for a bit more fancy latch with a bit better handle they won't whine and complain about it being unsightly. You know how some old geezers can be.

[@kenwilliams3269]

Absolutely worth showing. Thanks for taking the time to put the videos together. I almost purchased the Decked System for $1349 us. I am using you video for the basic plan for my F250 with an 8' bed. I am 1/2 through the project. Thanks again.

[@Cactusworkshopchannel]

Awesome! very interesting drawer slides as well! I was waiting to see how they were made as I had seen the steel tube in the insta posts :D

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks Carlos!! :)

[@colebrockmoller9272]

So simple, so brilliant. Thank You!

[@michalsalter-duke4028]

This is exactly what I've been looking for for my project! Thank you Neil.

[@houtjeboom]

That is a great idea.... And love your drawerslides too!!!

[@Genezilla]

genius idea for the drawer runners. very cost effective! thanks for the idea!

[@diegudr]

Excellent work man. It is so satisfying to solve a problem with materials and tools you have on hand. Anytime you avoid a trip to the hardware store it's a win.

[@geeznogoodname]

I was looking specifically at DIY leg vises but I got sucked in watching some of your other videos. You sir have skills! Thanks for sharing!

[@patrickcowan8701]

Your drawer slides and latch are an excellent design,it you put some at the opposite end you could also lock it open for when you're parked on not so level ground, quite common here in the mountains of British Columbia.

[@thomasmarliere2505]

Thanks Neil. Simple but very efficient 👍

[@madometal]

Love the draws with the bearings rollers and stainless steel square tubing rail

[@rogertaylor712]

Great video, as usual. I've build two of these style drawers for my camper. Now to build the catches.

[@silvermaple7779]

Very cool build I must say! I'm definitely going to use that latch catch design in the near future. I can always count on your channel to be interesting, informative and innovative. I can't thank you enough for sharing your "outside the box" ideas. It's content like yours that makes KZbin such a wonderful thing.

[@PaskMakes]

Thank you very much - glad to be of help! :)

[@markirish7599]

Thank you for teaching me new skills

[@zivahweirdnwonderful]

This is exactly what I need for the pet gate I built. Thank you 🙏🏽

[@andrewcady9443]

Those drawer slides are brilliant. You are full of useful & original ideas, great stuff.

[@baskhoan]

Can't wait to see the rest of the build

[@samuraicowboy9605]

Hey, not much of a video aye. It's an awesome video and its exactly what I need for my mobile toolbox with perpendicular draw systems. Thank you Sir. Not the quantity, its the quality. Direct and straight to the point.

[@BruceAUlrich]

Definitely worth showing. Thanks for doing that!

[@PaskMakes]

No worries Bruce! :)

Simple and effective mechanism! You always have great ideas, thank you for this fantastic job! 🔨🔨

[@SparrowStockwell]

Those are nice catches!

[@jojodroid31]

Great Design! Looking to make these for a camper build, so similar use to yours. I was thinking doing one on each side and connecting them with a rod or something so you can open both at the same time. I'll also try building these inverted so you have to pull up to open, that might save the use of the spring mechanism!

[@salc9593]

Another great idea... Thank you for posting, I will be make a couple for my project.

[@jasonb4350]

Very nice I can see many uses for that catch.

[@tylergranger676]

Genius. Thank you!

[@ianvicedomini2648]

Brilliant idea for a catch Neil. Great video mate

[@thinkingindian3308]

Appreciate the effort and simple approach. Thank you for sharing

[@danieljob7787]

Fuck that's good, loving these fast forward vids.

[@Simulonix]

This is perfect mate. A friend dropped a grand on a set of drawers like this and making them is a much better option for myself.

[@cuteo7869]

Very clever, cheers mate!

[@blackfender100]

Great drawers great latch also.

[@Momoka7]

Actually the part I find most interesting... is what "drawer slides" you are using. Just a square tubing, I assume you attached them to the drawers by predrilling a hole and then use self-drilling screws to attach nicely. Those drawers then have a nice heavy-duty support from the square tubing... and they roll on ball-bearings... That is a very effective design for heavy-duty... extra long drawers that you can pull out nearly all the way. I would say this design is not only useful for your car, but any application where you have drawers that need to hold allot load.

[@togetherwemake8048]

Awesome thanks for sharing I can use this soon

[@wolfpack2007]

great idea... going to build me set of drawers and latches... awesome...

[@deanaoxo]

Brilliant, not sure how i missed it when i built the drawers, thank you sir, came here looking for and Elbow Latch, for a completely different project~!~

[@jewdd1989]

Absolutely love it, thanks Pask

[@RollinHomies]

Boom… love it!

[@nelalvarez]

[@peterlisyak5396]

Such a simple and effective design, love it

[@Rick_Bagnall]

Good Job! simple and effective again! I love the way you do things with such practicality. Can't wait for the drawer videos, I'm building a work bus myself, and that will be very helpful. Thanks again!

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks Rick - glad you liked it! :)

[@williamsigsworth2109]

That's a um dinger one for my scrapbook 👍

[@marknalang7552]

I guess it's better if u put it on the edge or the back part of the Dr drawer as lock and put a stick that connect to that hook and put hole that serve as button on the cover

[@donjuan4087]

Thanks for taking the time to make these videos, very much appreciated and enjoyed!!

[@whoDatBeDare]

Thanks for these vids. Facinating, inspirational, and educational.

[@Svenseas808]

Excellent thanks for sharing

[@Kyle-ev4fk]

good stuff thank you

[@ajmckay2]

Great video! I was looking for something exactly like this at the hardware store yesterday for a garage cabinet I made. I think I'm going to make one similar to yours instead!

[@dylanklemm5534]

Good stuff I have built a few draws for various Utes like the catch 👌🏼

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks Dylan! :)

[@brianmorris8045]

Simple soIution to a common problem for tradies. I love it when you enthusiasts and tradies do their vids in fast motion..it is practical, and also looks funny...I wish more people would do that...to the ones who don't, I fast forward my youtube. There is times you don't need to show each screwhole being made, and screw going in,it is so nerdish and boring...it is very tedious to look at in the least. Well done Pask, good work.

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks Brian! I totally agree with the speed - I fast forward when watching on KZbin too! :)

[@roysiegfried9832]

Mister Max just exactly how long would you say that latch is the dimensions the length the width and the thickness of love to try making one for my setup. I really enjoyed your video relaxing and informative :-)

[@Stephens8x6Workshop]

And a better catch than a bought one to boot! brilliant :-)

[@charleslamphiear7979]

Nicely done. Appreciate it!
