Enclosure door catch suggestions

I’m setting up a Shapeoko 3 in a community workshop, because of our insurance regs it needs to be enclosed so I have designed an enclosure built from 2020 aluminium T-Slot.

I’m guessing others may have done this already so I wanted to ask what you were using as a door catch as I am having trouble finding anything online, i’m probably not using the correct search term.

Thanks.

What sort of catch do you want?

Do you want one which is magnetic? Or a mechanical option?

Will you also be incorporating a safety interlock?

Usually for hardware I start at Lee Valley:

Cabinet Door Latches & Catches - Lee Valley Tools

and if I’m feeling cheap (but expansive, it’s usually best to order in quantity), D. Lawless:

Or check at your local hardware store?
