The lockers (lazarettes) in our cockpit have horrible latches that "bite" you every time you walk by them because of the way they protrude, especially when they are left open. After our trip North last summer, we decided to research flush mount latches so we could walk by them safely. Geralyn found lockable latches made by Southco. We mounted one of them over the weekend and it worked great. The latching mechanism needs a little tweaking to work in a lazarette versus a regular door, still, they are much safer than the original boat latches.
