would it work on a diary with a latch but no lock?

I think it would be perfect for that. It is about the usual size of a diary lock. I can't think of anything to compare the "U" part of the lock to in size, but maybe a cooked piece of spaghetti. Lol So anyway I think it would work perfectly for a diary.

Depending on the size of your diary. It was larger than I thought it would be and slightly heavier as well. If your diary is of thin size, pethaps no. If it's security you are looking for? I would invest in a small TSA lock, imho. Hope that helps. Warm regards, Marcy.

Sorry, I bought this as a gift and didn't check out the details. Don't know if it has a spot for a lock on it.

We have not. It's not locked but we bent one of the latches so it would hold tighter.

You could fit a tiny lock on it, but I would say the latch is more for novelties. It's not a strong latch, so you certainly wouldn't want any real valuables in it.

Locking mechanism works by sliding the silver latch either towards you or away from you. Try sliding the mechanism until it releases. DO NOT push down on or pull up on mechanism as this will break it.

The shed itself does not lock, but it has holes in both door handles for a padlock to be put on. I use a padlock on mine and it latches very easily. Hope this helps!

Yes, this latch does have a place for a bolt or lock to prevent it from opening.

No it would not work for this purpose, the "lock" releases when a strong magnet placed against the specific area of the cabinet door, which a teenage would probably figure out after seeing you open the door. National Cabinet Lock C8060-14A-KA Cam Lock, would be a better solution.

Sorry I am not an expert in locks. I do not have one but they might make one but I could not find it.

No the latch itself does not lock but it has lock holes next to the latches...

Eyeballing it, any lock with a shank of no more than 3/16" diameter. Wouldn't invest too much into the lock as the unit is plastic so not exactly a bank vault. Lock would 'keep honest people honest' as the saying goes.

Only if its a THIN CABLE lock. You could put the cable thru a hole in the latch and wrap it thru the handle and pull it tight. A standard key or combo lock WILL NOT work.

Thank you for your inquiry. We have not had any customer that specifically said they were going to use this with a lock. Please contact us if we can be of any further assistance.

It may work so long as the surface is smooth and non porous. You just need to be sure to have enough space to make the two metal rings meet so the lock can be used.

It depends on how young and how clever. It is a good latch but isn't a true lock. I would still recommended keeping the box put of reach to avoid temptation or getting a box that will lock with a key or padlock

My boyfriend says yes it will. I love this lock. To break in you will have to use a stick of dynamite. Worth every penny.

The latches do not lock, but the front center of the lid/body does have a hole that you could secure with a lock. It's only plastic, however, but would work to keep children out.
