Can anyone help me find a replacement for a broken cabinet latch on my 2001
NT37? The factory has not been any help and my catalog and Google searching
has turned up a Sea Dog latch that is identical except it lacks the plastic
base which is a part of mine (and the broken element!). The usual stores
like Home Depot, Lowes, ACE, ACO, plus specialty cabinet shops have turned
up nothing.
I have no idea whether the latches on my tug are common with other
models/years, but I'll do my best to describe it.
The door element is a simple stainless screw with a ball shaped head that
engages the catch. The frame mounted catch is a white plastic (nylon?) part
shaped like an elongated "C" that snaps over the ball head on the screw when
the door is closed. The "C" has a flat stainless spring wrapped around the
outside to provide the necessary force to snap over the ball head. Lastly,
the white plastic "C" is mounted to a clear plastic base with two rivets and
this base mounts to the cabinet frame with two small screws.
