I believe I robbed it from another bird house that was falling apart. But you can use something as simple as a wood screw or a sliding nail to hold the door in place. But you might also look around in a hardware store. They may have a latch that is similar.
I robbed mine from an older Bluebird box, but you might check with a store like Wild Birds Unlimited. You can also probably google specifically for that latch item. It wouldn’t be difficult to replicate and make your own. You could probably make one with a piece of scrap metal.
Not sure if anyone is still following this thread … For folks looking for a clasp like this … I feel your pain! I was gifted some lovely cedar and I turned it into 7 bluebird houses. I was stuck on this one problem … where do I get clasps?
It’s all about finding the correct verbiage when googling. I tried words like: latch, clasp, hasp, miniature door latch, bird house door clasp … I tried it all. And then it occurred to me I hadn’t tried wing or bow … and this is what I found! It worked perfectly!
