Title: Cabinet Latches
Post by: Les Brandt on July 03, 2014, 05:37:40 AM

Anyone know where I can get the right size ball bearings and springs for the cabinet door latches in our 01 Beaver Patriot?
Some were lost by the previous owner and the doors don't stay shut when rolling down the road.

Any help would be appreciated.

I bought replacement latches @ Beaver Coach Sales the last time I was there. Give them a call.

Les,

The best solution I found was to use Locktite on all the screws.  Never lost one after that.  You will probably have to buy the whole latch to get the parts.

Here are the latches.  They're only $1.89 each, with all the parts, so there's no need to buy ball bearings and springs separately.  But I do agree with the recommendation of putting Loktite on them.

Thanks Guys! I ordered them from the Hardware Hut per Joel. $1.89 each! I ordered 6. Only need 3 so I have a few spare.

FYI George, I looked at them at Beaver Coach Sales. $21.00 each! Big difference!
