Basement latches

Looks like I'll need to replace a number of latches on our 07 Discovery basement doors. Anyone have a good source?

Thanks

"Checking with Fleetwood" is my last resort. Was hoping that someone had a link to a site. Will need about 8 of them!


Thanks

The last time I bought some was from RV Upgrades, and I always buy a couple extra as I know they will break again, almost time to order a few more. RV Designer E525 Fleetwood Baggage Latch

I am tempted to start buying from here since they sell metal latches instead of the plastic ones.

If your keys say TriMark, latches can be purchased directly from TriMark at a reasonable price. TriMark Corporation - Latch, Handle, Linkage, Electronic, Hinge, Vehicle door hardware Keys are extra. Be sure to specify the key code you want (should be on your old keys).

I should have been more clear on my question. I'm looking for the latch/catch, that's on each end of the doors.
I'd go the Fleetwood route but I need 8 replacements.

If you call Fleetwood Parts you might be surprised. Some of their replacement parts are actually reasonably priced. (Of course I haven't priced those replacement latches; we bought a couple of those spares from Amazon.) Good luck.

I have used these, they are metal plungers and won't break like the plastic ones. Latches :: Motorhome compartment latches guaranteed for life

Bruce Plumb makes aluminum ones with a complete kit that never break. He's down by Branson, Mo. Very nice guy.

I forget the price but think it is around $7-10/kit.

We purchased ours from RB Machining, as well. They delivered excellent quality, machined aluminum latches, as advertised. Great people to work with. \ken
