Blaine,
A "Bear Claw" latch is a double catch latch like modern vehicles use. Here
is a link to a site that sells them. You will be able to see what they look
like. http://www.julianos.com/bear_claw_door_latches.html
I have installed these on one of my trucks and now the doors shut and stay
shut like a modern vehicle.
