Bed platform lock at foot of bed

The "rotating" brass lock at the foot of the bed that holds the bed down broke on my coach. I have looked around for the same type but have been coming up with nothing. Does anyone know a reference or part number for this?

Any hardware store it's a common latch

Found it at the local Home Depot. Go figure FT would use a common latch!
Thanks all

Consider not locking bed as it can be used as an entrance if door lock fails.

I bought a couple online a few years ago....... I think they were called a rotating window or sash latch.

Yes it is a rotating sash latch and no it actually is not a lock. Just a latch to keep the bed from coming unexpectedly up
