Comparing Visible Hooks with a Roller Catch
I built the drawer frame and its surrounding storage cabinet on the patio.
I fitted the lining and slides as separate assembly stages.
My closure-hardware purchases included pivoting hook-and-eye latches as well as other catch styles.

My Takeaway from This Job
The closure mechanism is a separate choice from the drawer slide and handle. A hook joins two visible mounting points by hand; the roller alternative engages a mating strike as the panel closes.
A hook closure and a roller catch engage in different ways.

Action
Pivoting hook and separate eye
A cabin hook and eye latch joins two small mounting locations with a visible pivoting hook. Hold both parts in place with the door or lid at its intended closed position before marking the screw holes. Check that the hook reaches the eye without pulling the panel away from its normal alignment. The pivot also needs room to swing clear when open. On a van cabinet, this makes the surrounding trim, panel thickness and handle position part of the fitting layout rather than separate details.
