Looking for discontinued latch-bath cabinet

BillTex · 05-30-2007, 01:01 PM

Hello, I am trying to track down this white plastic latch from the overhead bathroom cabinet in an 89 Excella 25’. Identical latch is used on the medicine cabinet.
AS said the part is discontinued and did not provide a part number.
If available, I would order 2.

Thanx for your help,
Bill

How did these attach. Looking at the Camping World catalog and there are a couple of things there that might work for you.

Hi Gary, there is another small tab that is broken off (see top of pic on right) that was riveted to the bottop of the over head bath cabinet.

Can you point me to the CW page?

Thanx, Bill

Bill,

Sorry - I was looking at two catalogs at once. Try here - key word "latch" or "cabinet" - note there are 4 pages when you use latch as a key word.

Thanx Gary, yes some of those are close...not an exact match. All the feedback I am getting from AS, and other vendors, is that this latch was discontinued some time ago...
Amazing, you can purchase almost an entire camper (body panels, etc) from 40 years ago...but I can't find this little latch!

Thanx, Bill

I would give Oasis RV in Tucson a call. They have alot of parts that are no longer in production.

Thanx AZ, got a link?

Anybody else got any ideas?

Bill,

Been looking around locally for you. We have an ex A/S dealer who still has some old parts. Said he still has something called an "overhead locker latch" that would fit this type of lift up door. I can swing by some time later in the week if you think it might be close.

Thanx Gary, that would be great...maybe you could show him the picture?
Do they have an email address?

Sure would appreciate it, trying to keep everything original!

Thanx again, Bill

Sorry - I struck out. Tried 3 dealers including the ex A/S dealer, none had it. If it means anything to you - 2 of the 3 recommended you try this one if you can't find your original. Good luck in your search.
