Where's the catch?

Where\'s the catch?

I've been searching all over for six catches like this.
Any anyone know who supplies them?

Any suggestions appreciated.
This one is on our Sadler Starlight.

I'm sure they used to use them on old buses.

I'm afraid I don't know a supplier, but at least it might be a suitable search avenue - and possibly a cheaper source of supply than anything marine.

Good luck

Most chandleries seem to sell them. I think I got mine from Aladdins cave in Bursledon.

I replaced my anchor locker catch a couple of years ago. They aren't designed to be trodden on!

will give you a door button catch.
Could also try zygology.
or Casement Cupboard Latch Medium Antiqued Brass
(whitechapel ltd)

Architectural Iron mongery ...Latch...Catch are best for the search engines.

I got one in Darthaven Marina Chandlery a couple of years ago and also saw them in the Chandlery at the entrance to QAB in Plymouth - can't remember their name though.
