Whats a butterfly latch or a surface-mounted latch ?
A flight case butterfly lock or surface-mounted lock is a type of latch commonly used on flight cases, musical instrument cases, and other types of cases to secure the lid or door. It is called a "butterfly lock" because the latch mechanism resembles the wings of a butterfly when opened and closed.

The lock is mounted on the surface of the case and consists of a metal plate with a spring-loaded latch that engages with a striker plate on the other side of the case. The latch can be opened and closed with a turn of the key or by pressing a button or lever.

Surface-mounted locks are popular because they are easy to install and do not require any modifications to the case. They are also relatively inexpensive and provide a high level of security for the contents of the case.
