Default Metal slide to hold criggabe boards pegs in storage hole

Hello,

Does anyone know where, or what they are called, I can get the metal slides
that will hold cribbage board pegs in a storage hole.

I am going to make a few for gifts and I was hoping to add this feature.

To further explain what I mean. On the bottom of the board there would be a
slot that has a little metal slide that will cover the hole so the pegs will
not fall out.

Looked at Rockler and couldn't find them.

Thanks

It's a woodworking project right? Use a wooden slide. Use a small
dovetail bit in your router and rout a slanted groove along the edge
of the cavity. Rout an reverse slant on the door and you've got an all
wood cribbage board. Make it snug and lube it with some wax so it
slides easily. I made the cavity in mine large enough to hold a deck
of cards and the pegs.
