I am looking for something like a bullet catch, but when the bullet is
pushed in I want a pin/bolt to be pushed out the opposite end.
I want to interlock 2 cabinet doors through a center stile - so that when
one door is closed the other one cannot open. If it exists, the kind of
latch/catch described should do the trick. I've spent an hour searching
froogle/google on "pin latch", "spring plunger", "bullet catch", "spring
bolt", and others, to no avail.
I did find a "hand retractable spring plunger" which is in the ballpark,
but it has an L-shaped handle opposite the plunger and I need a straight
pin.
Any help out there? Does this exist? Name? Source? TIA. -- Igor

Hi Igor,
About 5 years ago, I built a saddle storage cabinet for my
niece who was/is boarding her horse a a local stable. It
needed to have 2 doors that locked and since the cabinet was
about 4 ft tall x 4 ft wide x 2.5 ft deep, it had a center stile
(and a divider support also).
My solution was a little primitive in that I simply attached
a barrel bolt lock to the inside of one of the doors (the left in
this case). This way, there is just one padlock on the outside.
Not a solution for fine furniture tho.

How about something like this?

Probably not exactly what you're after but maybe something like this could
be modified to work.
Maybe www.wwhardware.com has something.

It looks like there is a fair distance between the bolts. Would depend on
the width of the stile. Probably could recess half the thickness of the
beveled bolt if needed if needed. Or use a false stile if the doors are
overlay.

That's for a cabinet without a stile. The op has a stile in his cabinet
if I read his post correctly.
