Restore Classic Gerstner Functionality

Whether you’re restoring a well-worn heirloom or replacing missing hardware on a vintage chest, the Gerstner Replacement Catch gives your toolbox the finishing touch it deserves. Designed specifically for the front of Gerstner Chests, this replacement catch mirrors the original in form, fit, and function. It also works seamlessly with older chests made by now-defunct manufacturers like Union, Pilliod, Star, George Scherr, Sipco, and others.

Authentic and Functional Design

Gerstner engineers crafted this catch to match the hole patterns found on vintage models stamped with “Gerstner” or “Eagle”. That makes it easy to upgrade or restore without drilling new holes or modifying your chest. The top holes are spaced 7/8 inch center-to-center, ensuring a snug fit on many legacy tool chests. At 1-5/16″ wide by 2-11/16″ tall, the latch maintains a compact profile while offering secure functionality.

We include five Phillips-head screws with every catch for straightforward installation. Whether you’re bringing a decades-old Gerstner chest back to life or upgrading an antique tool chest from another brand, this catch ensures your restoration looks sharp and performs reliably.

A Perfect Fit for Collectors and Craftsmen

Collectors, woodworkers, and restoration pros rely on genuine Gerstner parts to maintain the look, feel, and durability of their classic tool chests. The Gerstner Catch blends quality materials with precise design to ensure it looks right and holds tight.

Complete your restoration the Gerstner way—with craftsmanship that lasts.
