I was roaming around Lowe’s today. I see they carry these zinc-plated latches, if anyone wants these as opposed to stainless....

UPDATE.
When installing these, I found it impossible to rivet the lower section(the section on the door) from the front. Neither my rivet gun nor my hand riveter would make contact with the hasp section from the front. An Aircraft rivet from the rear however, worked a charm.
