If you put a spot of Locktight on the screwcap, it will stay put.

We just lost a cabinet full of dishes, due to the screw cap and ball falling out of one of the metal latches, on a tight curve.  I absolutely hate those things!  Have caused me no end of grief.  I am definately going to use lock tite on them!  LOL  We can get them at our local RV parts store but I think they are in the range of 5 bucks or so but what's a girl to do?  I need some extra screws and balls!

I don't have a source for buying just the screws and bearings, but if you look at my previous post, they can be bought for less than $2 apiece online. I doubt, realistically, you can buy the individual parts for any less.

Same catch is available thru Amazon for $1.08 but I didn't check shipping cost differences. Do a search for JVJ Hardware 06401. Amazon also has a larger version available from Amico.

That item on Amazon is actually shipping from a 3rd party and they are quoting $9.99 shipping.  However, using the manufacturer's part number I was able to find a place that sells them for $1.19 each but would only charge $6.99 to ship 10 of them to TX.  Here's the link: http://www.pullsdirect.com/jvj-hardware-06401-raw-solid-brass-tension-catch-from-the-miscellaneous-treatments-collection/p1400407

The only difference I can find between these and the ones I was buying is that these are bright brass and the others matched the "bronzed brass" finish that was on the originals. Since they aren't seen when the doors are closed, IMHO that's not an issue.  Thanks for the tip.
