David:
Two makers of hinge locks for file cases (vertical or flat files):
Multi-Lock Inc.
2027 Harpers Way
Torrance, CA 90501
213-320-6400
The make 5 lengths of hinges: 11, 21.5, 33.5, 45 and 56 inches.
They look nice but the longer ones have too much play in them and
bind easily. The shorter ones are fine and are inexpensive (about
$10 I think). All hinge pins and welds are covered by a chrome
plated channel, about 1.5 inch wide.
McDowell-Craig Mfg. Co.
13145-T Firestone Blvd.
Norwalk, CA 90650
213-773-3451
We don't have any of their "Swing-A-Way locking bars" in our library
but I have seen them in use elsewhere and though they aren't as good
looking as the Multi-Locks (not plated, riveting exposed) they are
smoother in operation.
