The latches on my King V case are broken. Does anybody know where to purchase replacements? The case overall in still in great shape less the latches.

Have you tried looking on ebay for any or contacting the manufacturer of the case to see if they offer any replacement parts? -
The latches on one of my cases were completely broken. I really didn't care about the case but I do want to use it. So, for $3.00 at Home Depot, I purchased a set of latched that I screwed next to the original ones. It may not look that greatest, but it works fine.

with this style.

I'd probably have done the same, just when you said it didn't look great I thought it should have been easy enough to replace them and make it look okay.Comment

I admit, I was a little lazy as well and just wanted to get it done. Usually I take my time and do it right the first time but I just didn't have the time. I think if I ever have any spare time, I can still remove the old ones replacing them with the correct matching ones. I'll just have a couple of screw holes from the these new latches which I can probably hide better.

Depending on the problem with the latches, you may be able to fix them if they're not completely cracked/broken and/or loose. If you've got a flipper that wont stay in the locked/latched position, you may be able to bend the tab underneath that facilitates this function.
But if it's just busted all to hell and loose, contact whoever made the case.
Doesn't Dunlop or DiMarzio have those parts as well?I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood
