My original plan to use these suitcase catches wasnt such a good idea.
I have a thin layer of rubber between the two sections of trusses as a cushion to prevent metal on metal chipping the paint.
These catches that although look fine actually dont pull down sufficiently to hold everything in place firmly and a slight knock flips them open..
so I changed to these
These really crank down the sections and have the added bonus that a pin can be inserted to prevent them accidentally opening.
