Boler Cabinet Door Catch / Latch Replacement

[Mike Roho]

Hello,

Does anybody know where to get replacement (same look/style as original) cabinet door catches? The one for my closet got brittle and snapped in the winter when I closed the door.

If there are no no close OEM replacements, what have you guys done for new catches?

Thanks in advance.

Mike

well if no one else chimes in...if you absolutly cannot find these in the color you want I live near a "restore" place (recycled hardware ect) and with a photo could look for you...

I don't know what yours look like, but I've seen two different types of catches on Boler 13's:

1) You pinch a square on both ends simultaneously

2) There is a single button that you press with your thumb

Both are available at Vintage Trailer supply on this page:

#1 "Pinch catch" looks like an exact match, while #2 "Brass push button cabinet latch" has a slight convex hump and a linear pattern, whereas the originals I've seen have a slight concave hump and a pebble pattern - but they are pretty close.

I've seen other varieties of #2 at other RV suppliers, with different embossed patterns - but always with the convex hump. However, since the closet is a "solo" handle, away from the others, it might not be that obvious (or perhaps you have an even less obvious location and can switch a couple of catches).

Hello,

I believe I have the original latches. Pictures below. I don't find they work that well for travelling on bumpier roads. Has anyone replaced them but still with the original doors? I cannot find any that can latch the different thicknesses.

Thanks,
