I was looking through some of your web pages and found this extension for
the push-botton latch (that I first saw from KenH)
http://goo.gl/S9tzA

I bought a dozen or so, but I needed this extension that you have built

how is it made?
spring loaded?
metal plunger?

have any pictures that have details?

nice job

Gene, those extensions are made by gluing two pieces of wood together, one with a groove/channel that accepts the piece of aluminum bar stock without restriction (1/8 inch x 3/4 inch) and the other thick enough to space the channel out the proper distance from the drawer front (about 5/16 I think)to match up the channel with the latch. Once they are glued together you cut them and the bar stock to the length you need them to be - the piece of wood must be at least 1/8 inch above the top of the latch to give it room to work. The piece of aluminum bar stock is held in place by gravity - no springs needed - and is long enough to go behind the face frame of the cabinet when extended.
