Hi, I recently bought this boat and now i'm trying to fix some minor issues.
One of them is that there is no lock on the door, and it causes alot of vibrations when running at cruise speed.
I only have two holes and no idea what kind of lock was here in the first place, can anyone tell me what to get?

It looks like the same lock I have. This key lock is readily available. It is made by Hafele America and is called “sliding door lock for glass sliding doors”. It consists of a circular base with keyhole that fits in the hole you have in the door and a key with pin tumblers. The pin tumbler stays in the keyhole when the door is locked and stays with the key when unlocked. The pin will go into the small hole in the bulkhead. You may need to get some metric flat head screws slightly longer than what they provide if your door is thicker. I also had to enlarge the hole in the bulkhead that the pin fits into when the door is locked. It is not very expensive.

I can't seem to find one that matches your description, they have tons of locks, is there any way you could show me a picture? My google skills may be lacking

Hafele 223.22.207 or if you want more than 2 keys then get Hafele 223.22.217 as they are keyed alike. About $10 each from The Builders Supply. I needed extra keys for my kids as there is little or no chance of having them made. So I got several of the latter. I also needed longer screws as my cabin door is thicker. They are size M3.

This is good information. However, I am having the hardest time finding them in 2025. Any further assistance.
