Default Saddlebag issues

I have been having problems with the snaps on my leather bags. My bike sits in a blacktop parking lot and bakes in the sun. The bags get hot, and the snaps pull through the leather. Does anyone one know where I can find a better snap, or some type of locking hardware to replace them?
