brass lock for toy chest

[stef]

my latest project was a pine toy chest for the little one, following some plans from an old mag. I am quite pleased with the result, but i am just missing one element: the lock!
hinges are solid brass, so i'd like something that matches.
i dont know what this type of lock is called, but it as to lock two edges together (as opposed to an edge on a face)
i have checked he usual places (B&Q and screwfix) and of course, they dont have the suitable lock type.
any idea of a good webbased retailer ?

You need a box lock

And as little hands are involves a piston stay is advisable

i did buy a piston stay from ebay...
well, it was a damper-autolift thing for the bonnet of a porshe 911. i couldnt help myself..
needless to say it is too stiff.
free to anyone who needs it.
