Anchor Locker Latch on 2000 Osprey 215

Finally getting around to fixing a few broken items on my boat. The anchor locker hatch has never worked and I can't find an exact replacement that seems to fit. Here are a few pictures. Any suggestions on what to use?

Look for the manufacturer name molded on the inside of the hatch. Odds are it was made by Rabud. You can probably get one from them or from Dusky online.

If you want a bit of an upgrade, you can get a custom starboard hatch made by Boat Outfitters.  Just measure your cutout and plug it in on their website.  They cost a bit more than the mounded hatches, but they're much higher in quality, plus custom sizes.

Thanks for the info guys. I'll let you know how it turns out.

If anyone is interested in how this turned out, the original hatch was made by Daytona Plastix. They were bought by DPI Marine, Inc which has the exact replacement for the hatch (but not the hardware). Good selection of sizes if anyone needs something. Haven't ordered from them as I found the same product on Amazon (ease of returns if needed).
