I needed a way to keep my printer enclosure door firmly pressed against the foam padding around the opening to prevent fumes from printing (especially ABS) from escaping. This can be mounted with double sided tape, or 3M Command Strips, to the door surround area. The latch slides in with a couple of small fins to hold it out out of the way by friction when not in use - there's definitely a better way to do this but I didn't have time to spend on it.
The design of the tongue was so that it can accommodate a variety of mounting depths and/or door thicknesses. Fusion 360 file included so you can modify to your needs. No need for supports if printed as shown in the Slicer image.
