Make latches that hold

I am new to Algodoo, so forgive me if this is naive.

I have a model with moving components and want to add some latches (to hold some moving components in place until another component has rotated into position).

All of my latch designs are failing because if they are small, they do not hold (ie. they wabble and fall apart under tension).

Is there a trick to making small components (like latches) that will hold up to tension?

Thanks,

Bill

Make the whole mechanism larger.

Also, wrong place to post this.
