Update 2020-11-20: I've broken a couple of these now, and while I can always print more I decided to try making them thicker. I've added toolbox-latch-thicker.stl to the files. The first thicker one I printed still worked fine on the toolbox, and we'll see if it holds up better over time.
Replacement latch tab for the ones that frequently come on toolboxes and are held on only with a narrow piece of plastic that eventually wears out and breaks. Just screw it in using the provided holes, or print the solid version and drill your own holes. I used #6 3/8" stainless steel screws, so that's what the holes are sized for. Make sure you screw it in such that it fits tightly. One of mine isn't tight enough and it will occasionally pop open by itself. If this happens to you and is a problem, you may be able to slightly scale the print to make it fit tighter. Edit: Yes, you can. I took .5 mm off the length of mine to make it fit tighter and now it fits perfectly.
