Re: "Finger breaker" latch replacement?

These are available - slightly different size - but, I have found
these. These are called elbow catches:
Here is one supplier:

Here is an abi catch:

Emacs!

But, I am surprised Rick that you would accept these - what about an
entirely different latch?

I keep my Rum in one of these lockers and am always concerend about
hitting a wave and wasting the rum.

I did put slide bolts in for the boards lockers behind the cushions -
but, always wanted something a little more secure.
