Our sliding hatch cannot be locked from the inside. To be able to sleep peacefully despite this, we clamp a sturdy moulding between the rear end strip of the hatch and the front edge of the companionway. A small screw with a sawn-off head acts as a spike that grips into a hole in the end moulding to prevent the moulding from slipping off. The other end rests on the moulding of the companionway edging. The length is dimensioned so that this cover moulding can be easily removed with a flick of the wrist.
