I'm making a small enclosure to house a "sign-on" sheet and clipboard, as per photo / render. It's roughly 600x450mm in size and will be outside, fastened to a wall. The door will not be locked, but I need a catch to stop the door blowing open in the wind. The catch doesn't need to have much mechanical strength, but does need to still function after a few years outside. I've even thought of just inserting a couple of neodymium magnets into the door and frame. A simple bolt could work, but I'm looking for alternatives
Any recommendations of types of catch / material that I should use?

Thanks

Lee valley tools, but I'm sure upscale cabinet places will have solid brass and stainless. This one is $12 Canadian.

Thanks. I'll look at my local builders merchant.
You'll probably get a much wider choice if to look n eBay and/or Amazon.

You may even find a catch which is all brass without a ball or roller which relies upon spring tension.
