Default locker door latches

I'm rebuilding my galley and need to choose some locker door latches.
I like the "push button" ones from Southco that are found on a lot
of newer boats but the cheapest I can find them is about $16 CDN each
from Lee Valley. We have a big galley and a lot of doors so that is a
bit expensive.

I've seen some Beneteau's with plastic elbow catches. The difference
with their elbow catches is the little plastic push panel inside the
hole; no need to push finger through hole and bend finger to open.
They look nice and cheap and light but I've never seen them online.

Any suggestions for light and cheap positive closures. I don't want
little brass spring loaded ball type ones; they open when items fall
against the door.
