I don't know of a source for cast-locks but I just have to ask. Why would you want to use cast-lock fittings when there are so many better alternatives.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Doesn't mean you shouldn't change to something better.
Sta-lok fittings are pretty user friendly. Lots of companies make mechanical fittings. Some are better than others, virtually all are better than cast locks.
