Wood stove locked

[Dco223]

Hello, just inherited a wood stove from my new house move and the previous owner was showing me how to use it. Apparently , it requires two latches to open and the owner thinks the his movers took one by accident. Any idea what replacement part I need? Haven’t had any luck finding a similar model stove online. The square tapered insert is the piece I need the latch for. Thanks!

What stove is it?

Can you post some pics of the ENTIRE unit?
That might help with identification.
Those two pics are of no help.

It looks a bit like a moroso latch but no way to know from that pic

Yes! Here you go.

to get by in the mean time: vise grip on the left, appropriately sized screw driver (diagonally in the hole) on the right...? (L/R as per first pic)

Looks like a 3/8 socket bar might work. Worth a try if you have one.
