Broken exterior storage door latch

Post by Fawn »

Hi All,
I'm looking for a latch that will close the outside storage compartment on my 1998 Chinook Concourse. I have photos attached. I'm not sure what the proper name of this latch is and the research I've done hasn't shown up anything that looks like the one that's broken. It's the latch that when the door is flipped up will hold the door in place. Any replacement ideas are welcomed.
Thanks./Users/fawnyacker/Desktop/storage latch 2.jpg

You attachment of the picture didn't work, but if I'm guessing right, you can try this thread:

Amazon has them, look for FAVOMOTO 2 piece door holder, $10.23 for 2. I have used these and they are a good fit.

Thanks for your help. I'm going the 3D route with Richard (Thanks for the link Bob) and will also look on Amazon for the FAVOMOTO 2 piece door holder, $10.23 for 2. That way I'll have a stash for later events.

I mounted standard magnet latches on aluminum bar stock. Simple and won't break. See photo
