| Large Flip Lock |
This tutorial shows you how to install a large lock with screw holes on the Quarter Note Clutch, but you can install this on any bag. It would look great on a big bulky bag with a nice wide strap closure. (Click the link above and scroll down to the bottom of the page for this tutorial.)

| Press Lock or Tongue Lock |
This tutorial shows you how to add a press lock and a variation to the Necessary Clutch Wallet front flap, but you can use this tutorial to help you put a press lock on any bag you like. I remember when I was a child, my sister and I had child size brief cases with these locks and I get all nostalgic when I see one. I guess I should make an ipad case for my son with one, or a maybe a cool messenger bag for my daughters. Some day!

| Magnetic Snap Closure |
These are probably the most common snap bag closures, simply because they are easy to install and a breeze to open and close. Learn how to put one of these shiny snaps in by clicking the link above.
These are easy to follow instructions on how to add two kinds of turn locks. Some turn locks install with prongs to bend and some with screws. Learn how to do both with this tutorial and you will be able to install any lock of any shape or size.
