I have two questions.

1. Are there any alternatives to using hasps on acrylic enclosures? I have a feeling there might be, I just can’t figure out the terms to search to find anything.

As an example, my Dalle Craft enclosure has a simple little piece that you rotate over the door to keep it closed. I’m thinking something like this.

2. If I can’t find any other options, I guess I’ll just have to go with hasps. I could swear I have seen hasps for like 10 cents each with free shipping on Ebay but I can’t find them cheap anymore. Where do y’all buy your hasps?

1. Some people use metal hinges, not plastic on plastic.

Yes I saw these and they are cheap. I could have sworn there used to be some for ridiculously cheap though, like 10 or 20 cents each. If I don’t find them the above will work just find though.

They are called picture frame turn buttons.

You could rig one up with a paper clip if you aren't too worried about asthetics (it's what i do for juvie enclosures).
This looks promising! I am indeed picky about aesthetics, but I bet I could figure an easy way to attach them that looks okay. Thanks @Mojo288!
