How I repair torn off the suitcase clasp. This is not a lifhac with a plate and rivets. I tell the best way

Here you guys happened ... I expected that soon it would happen. On the suitcase, from my favorite Chinese boron, the fasteners broke off. I bought it for a very long time on Ali, these are not even selling already. I saw only similar, for example: Bornishins are similar

It was predictable, because it's not for anyone that it is not a secret that the quality of such a type of tightening is not very talking. I faithfully, I closed them and opened them for several years, while thinking when they break off.

Accordingly, when they broke away, I began to look for ways to solve, and so that they were inexpensive. And found such a way that is worthless.

In this publication, I will tell you how to make clasp on the suitcase almost free. I consider this method one of the best and aesthetic.

So, let's go. The photo will be a lot =)

We will need these covers from plastic bottles with a wide throat. Now in these usually sell milk. Try to select the covers flop (hard). Their diameter is about 32mm

We find the middle and make a hole with a selection.

Next, you need to pick up fasteners according to the thickness of the walls of your suitcase. The fasteners should be longer than the traffic width to so much so that the smoke can be fixed in the suitcase.

Next, you will understand everything and why. Fortunately, I have such a Caesik, where I throw off the different non-standard bolts after disassembling the equipment.

Drive the holes in the lid under the diameter of the screw (bolt). For these purposes, a stepped drill is perfect. If you are looking for a link to it at the end of the time or click here . The lid should be freely spinning on a screw.

Next with the help of a knife or Chinese scalpel, Sut the irregularity in the cover of the drill. Thanks to a plurality of replaceable nozzles, this scalpel is very functional, it will take a flat knife resembling scraper.

We try on the lid on the suitcase.

We make markup in such a way that the covers of the cover overlap both parts of the suitcase. Choose a place where the thicker plastic / wall. It is necessary to shift a little more in one direction, for the possibility of durable mount. I will sleep up.

Drills through holes.

We screw the covers.

Next, we select the screw for which the lid will be cling. Be sure to choose with a sharp edge so that the screw cling to the thread in the lid.

We make marking on the counter side of the suitcase.

Returning from the edge of the cover half the diameter of the screw + 1 mm on the thickness of the wall of the lid. I have ~ 5 mm drill through holes.

Spin screws.

Remove the covers. In the lids we make a slot equal to the width of the screws screw. (It was possible to do in advance at the drilling stage.)

We collect everything.

The principle of work is next.

You close the suitcase, screws pass through the slots into the lid. Next, you turn the lid at least 90 degrees, while the screw of the screw clings to the edge of the lid, which is not very firmly. Click on the bottom edge of the lid and it sharpens deeper, thereby clinging no longer for the edge, but for the thread of the cover. The suitcase is securely fixed.

Inside the screws do not interfere. If you are worried about the strength, you can use screws with nuts, or additionally glue, etc. I have a suitcase with this type of suitcase.

Here is such a guys a simple efficient and very aesthetic method. If there are some other covers, then it is only an advantage.

For example, suitable from cans with PVE glue, etc.

I think the idea is understandable, the implementation depends on the availability of components and fantasies.
