The file 'Latching Bolt 3D Printer Model' is (stl) file type, size is 105.3KB.
After adding a door to my shed I wanted to keep one of the doors held shut unless needed. The square bolts on Thingiverse only worked horizontally so I designed one which could rotate and hold the bolt in position.
The small brace can be used to hold the other side of the bolt or printed in a different orientation to increase the strength of the assembly.
The holes are sized for #10 screws though the chamfers are a little shallow for their heads.
The bolt is 5/8" inches in diameter, the hole in the pictures was cut using a 5/8" paddle bit and has a fairly tight fit while still sliding.
Please note, this is not intended to act as a security device!
