I lost my chrome fitting - any idea where a replacement can be found?

The head door is left wide open when we leave the boat with a small towel draped over the bottom step on the ladder for padding so if there is any door movement it touches the towel.  Just toss the towel under the ladder on the engine cover when entering to get it out of the way.  12 seasons doing this and no problem with odors and the door and step are unblemished.  If you are on a can or not well protected the other suggestions are better to keep the door open and in a fixed position.
