What kind of lock to use on these doors?

[PimsGarden]

I want to replace the wooden block on the top and bottom that keep the doors flush against the coop because the middle lock doesn't provide that. Any ideas on what I could use, I don't want to use 4 hasps haha. Thank you for your time and consideration! Couldn't find an older post that had this solution..

Edit: I'm trying to replace all of the locks because the middle one doesn't keep the doors flush against the coop and allows a couple inches at top and bottom where doors meet.

A 1x3 hinged down the middle, attached to the house.

These don't lock though, do they? They just hold in place from my experience with them on furniture. I need something that locks to feel secure.

Do you have a picture, I'm not sure I know what you mean?

Like this:
A hasp at the top, and a hasp+lock/carbiner at the bottom.

Ohhhh ok, that's an option. I haven't seen a hasp that big before so I didn't think about that.

I mean, a hasp attaching a piece of lumber. The long part is lumber.

That makes a lot more sense. I will do this unless I think of something better, I might take off the middle lock and just do something longer so the edges of the doors don't budge from the coop at all. Right now the middle lock is so short it allows movement, but a longer lock shouldn't in theory. Kinda like how you see castles that have the long board across the door, I'm sure there is a word for that...
