Exactly what we needed and I doubt that if I had a month of Sundays that I would have ever found J R Products and the exact part (20505). I'm calling tomorrow!

Re: MD Bathroom Door Replacement Reply #1 – December 15, 2015, 09:39:37 pm Yahoo Message Number: 157628I called J R Products earlier this year about the bathroom door latch. I learned they sell wholesale only. They will, however, provide you the name of the retailer nearest you who carries the part. They did not offer me a free replacement for the broken latch. The LD factory, of course, also sells the latch. We seem to need a new latch about once a year. J R Products referred me to Evergreen RV Supply in Seattle and I bought two of the latches from them. As I recall, Evergreen used the same part number as J R. Paul H. 2010 MB
Re: MD Bathroom Door Replacement Reply #2 – December 16, 2015, 06:51:55 am Yahoo Message Number: 157630Why keeping replacing the latch? Option 1) Replace it with a barrel style latch that commonly used on cabinets. LD used one on the door under the sink. (2007 MB) A cheap fix about $2.2) I machined a piece of 1/8 thick aluminum plate to replace plastic keeper on the door frame. That was about 20,000 miles back. Cheaper still as I had the aluminum stock and a hacksaw.
Re: MB Bathroom Door Replacent Reply #3 – December 19, 2015, 08:35:52 pm Yahoo Message Number: 157689I found an exact match to the OEM latch made by RV Designer Part #H531. Lots of places report having it in stock to include Walmart and this place called RV Auto Parts for $8.49.http://www.rvautoparts.com/RV-Designer-Latch-Privacy-Brown-H531_p_6481.htmlOnce we get back from tomorrow's short trip, I'd like to find a better made bathroom door latch that fits the existing holes. I took the original latch apart to see why it wasn't working and it's not a very strong latch IMO. If anyone has found an all metal or stronger plastic latch, I'd like to hear from you.Ed & Margee Fort Worth
