Locking a sliding / Pocket door

[kriggi]

After a little help. We have a pocket door to our utility room and I'm after a little device to make the door child proof so the kid's can't access the utility room.

The type of thing I have in mind is a simple round button recessed into the top of the door itself (top of the door out of the kids reach). When the button is pushed it pops out about 10mm and stops the door sliding back into the wall as the raised button gets caught on the door frame. When you want to open the door you push the button back in and it stays flush with the door allowing the door so slide back into the wall. Very similar to the way a push to open - push to close basin and bath plug work but much smaller, say 30mm diameter max.

I've found a similar method on Google (See below) that someone else has done by putting a wooden peg into a hole in the door to lock the door, remove the peg and the door can slide open.

I've come across some plastic pop out coat hooks and cupboard door latches for use in caravans but I would like something straight sided (so it doesn't dent the door frame) and made of metal so it's more robust. Does anyone know of such a device?

Thanks PositronicRay. That would work, but I'm after a simple push button so it's super easy and quick to operate and looks clean an tidy.

Thanks for all the replys, unfortunately none of them are quite what I'm after. Hopefully the below image will explain it a bit clearer, a nice clean button that can either be pushed in (and stays pushed in) or push again and pops out.

This type of thing (ideally made from metal for strength) is exactly what I'm after, I just can't find anyone who makes or sells them!

Thanks again everyone for your help.

Fredt, I had seen those ones and they are on my fall back list if I can't find exactly what I'm looking for, if only they had straight sides! I have stared to look at cooker switches so will see if I can find something.
