Door latch needed February 14, 2016, 02:07:49 pm Yahoo Message Number: 158785If anyone going to the Yahoo West Morro Bay gathering in March is planning to stop by the Mothership before arriving in Morro Bay, may I ask you to pick up an exterior door latch for me. I am looking for the female latch that attaches to coach main door. I have a 2002 30' IB. Of course I would reimburse you. I could email or text a photo if needed.If anyone has a link to such a latch on line, please post it.TIA!Chris

When you open the door, this piece connects to the holding bracket/catch on the side of the LD and holds the door open. Its similar to the piece on the right in the photo below. A picture really is worth a thousand words. http://www.americanhardwaremfg.com/images/products/hardware/latches_and_catches/RV-1239C.jpgChris

There is nothing unique about the latch LD uses. You should be able to find a replacement locally. Just make sure the screw spacing is the same.Our LD uses a metal latch, on the coach exterior wall, and a plastic clip on the door. The plastic clips only last a year or two, before breaking, so I always keep a couple of replacements on hand.Larry
