I was able to find exact replacement hasps and a lock. The patina is not perfect, so maybe I need to leave this thing outside for a couple of winters.    To replicate the original fasteners, I cut down 16 penny nails and ground off the waffle head. I'll never sell this piece and I do think it now presents better. |  That looks awesome Rob.
