I need some help, Im looking for some latches to latch down my lid it doesn't seem to be closing all the way down and I've tried putting the lid on the drum and hitting it with a rubber mallet but one side of the lid still comes up. It just doesn't get a good seal like it did when I first stated using it, I've also tried bending the drum a lil but still no luck I was thinking if I could find 4 latches I could latch it down I don't know of the right ones I need but I know I've seen some uds's with them so any help would be great thx.
This latch might work well:

It's springy, it looks like it'd be about the right size, and it's load rated at 150 lbs. Should work nicely. Has anyone used this one? EDIT: It looks like a Southco. They make awesome latches. :thumb:
As for getting your lid to fit right: Have you tried tweaking the lid? Maybe it's warped...
