Broken Cabinet Door Latch
On my 2005 Navigator, one of the latches on the top of each door is broken. I don't know if the pictures will show it so you can visualize what it is. Hopefully, those of you who have similar cabinetry might be able to help me identify a source where I can get this or something similar to it.

I have replaced all of mine with Velcro double latch.
I found it works very well, holds just as good, is easier to put on (no aligning) and is way less expensive and the DW prefers it no cabinet slam any more.

I found replacements on Amazon much cheaper than from the dealer. Bought a box of 12 latches as they always seem to be breaking.
12 Pack Cabinet Door Latch/RV Drawer Latch Holder, 8 LB Pull Force Latch for Home/Office/Cabinet Doors, Push Catch Latch for RV, Camper, Motor, Home, Trailer with Mounting Screws, OEM Replacement.
These are the ones I bought and I am very happy with them.

In case you did not know there are 2 different lengths of the piece that mounts to the door. The only difference is the distance between the screw holes. If you get the wrong one then the screw holes in the door won't match up. Just measure between holes in the original part. They both will work but mounting the wrong one will take some alignment and new holes in the door.....
Safe travels
Dave

Should you decide to replace them with some that work, wont break look nice and the detent pressure is adjustable ( see the screw in the end in the pic ) and are cheap?... this is what I used and it's been 5 years now with no issues
 .
Should you decide to go this route and have any questions on how to align / mate them properly? it is very very simple and I will share the details with you it's so simple a 6 year old can do it.
