I want a lock to put on the inside of a double, swing out, closet door. I was thinking of something like a sliding magnetically actuated bolt that would feed into the second door/attached “female” on the second door.

The door is a double closet door where each door mates a small ball at the top to a small recess in the upper jam to create a friction hold.

Does something like this exist?

Doesn’t need to be a SECURE!!! type thing, just enough to keep prying eyes out of a closet if I so desire. (Cleaning person, guest etc.).

Just kidding, just want to be able to throw some, junk and paperwork or whatever is needed in there.

I am open to other options but don’t want a big ugly front facing hasp lock or some such.

As always thank you.

As a new grandpa, we’ve been child-proofing our home.
Here are some Child magnetic locks on Amazon. Trouble is they are for 3/4 inch cabinet doors, but maybe you can inset the lock part into your closet door?

Not magnetic, but perhaps something like a desk drawer lock might work?

There are also hasps/padlocks in sizes that don't look intimidating.

I searched for "magnetic hidden slide lock".
