Sliding door catch needed

[AngusMcDoon]

I have a sliding door for the forward cabin which has 2 catches, one of which is broken and needs replacing. This is important as this snore door (as it's known) is all that separates me from the racket of nocturnal logs being sawn up and endless sleepless nights. The snore door is only thin, as is the catch. The bit that has broken (at the other end, this is the unbroken one) is the bit on the left that looks like a sideways pair of, erm, I'm sure you can guess...

Anyone know where I can get a replacement or recognize who makes it? The door is only about 8mm thick, so not much width for the jabber side of the catch.

Looks like it's called a roller catch, like this one which is similar but not the same...

Thank you and bah! I've spent ages Googling for sliding door catches and could only find burglar proof chunky things for patio doors. Anyone want to buy 4?

Brilliant! Exactly what I need for the Perspex cover to my cockpit electrical controls. Can I take two off you?

The nylon ones like that are probably better suited to marine conditions, don't you think? They're quite cheap and available from any caravan shop.
