I just purchased a 05 Fleetwood Discovery. Bedroom has mirrored sliders for closet doors.Each slider has TWO latches...The latch on the backside of the door is a plastic catch that latches with a plastic finger/hook on the frame. On the outside of the doors is a SMALL lever that hooks a small "finger" under a latch.Both plastic catches on the back are broken (the finger)Left door has a small lever on the outside of door that's broken.Any body have any URLS they can post?Thanks

You can open an account then put your coach's FIN (Fleetwood ID Number) in & it allows you to see every part on the unit. You can order directly from that site. It is a great tool! :)

Why would you buy the original faulty latches? If it was me, I'd epoxy a couple of neodymium magnets on the door and frame. The magnets don't break and can be installed so that they are invisible.

When my latches broke, I went to Home Depot and bought a couple spring loaded curtain rods. Like this.. I just lay them in the track to keep doors from sliding open.

I had the exact same latch on a National SeaBreeze.
They came from Shower Enclosures America Inc.

Contact them to get replacements.

Did you find one that looks like yours, here at Southco?

check out the post above, combed thru Southco & no-go! Aslo, ran across a thread here in this forum where a person asking for EXACT latch. Never did get a hit on it. These have to be available somewhere.

Did see the Youtube video on the burgler bar, neat latch but where to buy?

Thanks Bob, Went thru the on-line catalogue but no-go. What's REALLY odd is that the plastic catch, on the backside has Southco stamped on the latch (inside latch).

Latch on the far left, It's upside down. Note the catch, it latches under the metal catch thats next to it. The catch screws onto the square plastic pice with the catch on it that catches with the latch on the backside of the door (far right).

Note the metal catch on the left has thru holes to the plastic latch on the backside of the door (far right)with those phillips screws.

Here's another thread on the same latch!

try rvdesigner.com. They provide a lot of interior and exterior hardware for many of the RV builders.

Good ideas.

I did realize that next to the latch I see a diagram of the latch on a decal showing how to close. Across the bottom of the decal was Shower Enclosures America Inc.
I also checked out the site Hypoxia suggested but no go.

I'll take a PIC if the latches.

How about doubling on the plastic latches or jam some rigid foam in the track?
