My GoogleFu Failing me. Can you help me find a magnet lock?
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.).

Gotta hide my porn and heroin stash. Eek Big Grin

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".
