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

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.

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.

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