It is on a wall clock. The door has small brass peg sticking out that fits in a receiving brass hole in the frame with very light friction so that it stays closed, but little force is needed to open it. I'm looking to find one like it.

Can anybody tell me the name of this type of latch?

It sounds like a ball catch that you can find at HD.

No, they aren't it. This sits in the middle of the vertical rail of the door and just friction fit's into a corrosponding hole in the case. It is only there to keep the door from swinging open.
