Door Latches

I have broken the plastic latch on the door of our toilet. We have a 2010 Roadtrek Versatile 17. The latch is plastic. I have tried to find a replacement in the area without luck. Has anyone found a better replacement latch for that door?
  • I replaced ours with latches from Walmart that cost less than a couple of bucks and were superior to the originals in our RT. Lowes or Home Depot have a big selection.

    I didn't want an exact replacement because I thought the originals were inferior. I also replaced all the hinges on the overhead cabinets that the door swings up. The springs were so weak that I kept hitting my head on the open doors. I simply bought some 110 degree cabinet hinges at Lowes and replaced every one of those puppies a couple of years ago...........no problems since.

    There are few things in our RT that were disappointing, but hinges and the latches on the toilet door were sure sorry things.
  • We have a PW Excel but if the latches are the same, you can get them from Camping World.
  • Go to a big box store and spend some time looking through their hardware section. You will probably find exactly what you want in metal.
