The fire box latch works, wedge piece inside box, 1/2 steel rod through door, 1/4" flange in side, 1 1/2 inch x 1/2 id tube and washer welded to rod on outside, Because of the wedge, the more you push, the tighter is closes. Still working out handles, this will be my artistic portion of the build, I have some nice teak left over that would make nice handles.
