Latch Sound Effects

Latch sound effects, all about the click that keeps a door shut. A latch dropping into place as a door swings closed. A bolt sliding home. Cupboard catches snapping shut, and the heavy clunk of an old mansion door. It's a small sound, but without it a door never feels properly closed.

Most of the latches here come attached to their doors, from house doors and cupboards to vehicle and aircraft doors. The rest come from mechanism libraries, where a latch sits with every Ratchet and spring you could want, and there's Lock for the next step. Games use latches constantly, on every door and crate the player opens.
