My westerly has these for closing the lockers under bunks & sink etc.The locker doors themselves have all been removed & painted off white and I’d like to find something nicer than the originals to use for closing them.

The new saloon upholstery is a kind of sea green, the ceiling and locker doors white while all the mahogany trim is just sanded & oiled.
I’m thinking a bronze/brass/copper kind of finish, any suggestions as to what and where Iwould find this style of fastening? Or I could go for old fashioned bolts, which at least might hold them closed in a knockdown :)

Thanks.
 
I have ones that fit on the inside ... and you put your finger through a hole ... they hold against all falling on the doors inside ....

Not sure what they are called .... but the holes have also neat wood rings fitted ... look really nice.

Found them ....

Nearly all my lockers have those fitted. Work well but are tricky and time consuming to fit.

I call them fingersnappers. Got to be careful if finger in the hole and the boat moves/rolls.
