Question What do you call the little flat latch with a spring?

I need to order replacement latches for the external access/compartment doors. Does any one know the name of the latch that is flat, looks looks like a old pop can tab and pivots on a spring? Know where I can purchase?
Tks, Z.

those are hard to find in any metal that will not corrode. I only see ones made of steel that are zinc coated.

For any hardware you need in non-rust, always check the marine hardware suppliers. The selection available is amazing.
