You can get them in any ferriteria as well as Leroy Merlin. I would ask for “shutter security locks” - I’ve not heard them referred to as bananas!

They seem disproportionately expensive, but certainly work well enough. You don’t have them fitted, they are loose items. Just squeeze the ‘ears’ hard together to reduce their curvature and shove them in to each side of the shutter. Be sure that they go right into the track on each side, or they won’t work. Also, don’t insert them too near to the bottom, because the shutter could still be forced up slightly to allow access to them.
