Ahh....

Do'h.

Saw all of it except the last link, of course. Fist in mouth. I do that a
lot lately.
Well, I can attest that they do indeed work really well then.

I found out what they're called with some googleage. Floor locks. Check

Take a look at that and see if you've seen them before.

Yeah, I've seen them before, I linked to them at the end of my earlier
post :-).  They're cool, but generally expensive:

Your popular woodworking page above has a link to castersupply's floor
locks, those are also pretty pricey but they have some nice "economy
steel" jobs for around $20, best price I've seen so far.  At $72 for a
set of four that's almost enough to make it worth using these instead
of screwing around with hinges & etc.
