Can anyone suggest where I might find some ideas for simple wooden
door latches? Just pictures would probably do, I'm not aiming to make
anything sophisticated or beautiful, they're just for holding verious
doors closed on a hen house.

They thus need to be reasonably secure against meddling animals but
easy for us to open and close. They are in various different
positions and hold different types of door - an ordinary hinged door
(except that it closes against the sides rather than into a frame),
two horizontally hinged flaps and a vertical sliding door. I think
there will probably need to be more than one type of latch for the
different doors and positions.

It doesn't matter too much if they're bought latches or I need to make
them myself.

Currently all the hinged doors have Screwfix toggle catches:-

These are OK but not really quite robust enough for the big vertically
hinged door and I feel they need a locating clip (which they're
designed for) to guarantee they don't pop open.
