I would look inside the door for the attaching device that came out, using a telescoping magnet, or a telescoping mirror & a light source to try to see what was in there before. If the holes in the two pieces align in both the door latched and unlatched position, rather than a rivet I would probably lean towards a short bolt, a pair of flat washers and a nylock nut, leaving it loose enough to pivot easily. Just one approach, without seeing the parts you're dealing with, and assuming alignment of the holes.

go to tractor supply they have every kind of pin and lock made in the small bins.
