Ref: Kluwer Bouwkunde. I think I'd go for latch lock, but hard to say without further context.

PS: I'm not an expert, but I think 'day latch' would be a fair translation for 'dagslot'. Don't know about 'roller-bolt lock' though, as a translation for 'rolslot'. Kluwer Bouwkunde renders this as: 'ball roller' or 'trolley' in the context of 'looprol voor een schuifdeur'. That might not be applicable in your case.
