Where can I find this latch?

alia176 · 12-20-07, 07:59 PM

I broke one of the latches on my Kamparoo while backing up

Based on the pictures, anyone know where I can pick another one up? It's approx 3.5" long and has a locking cylinder. I've included pics from the front and the back for your reference. I see no marks of any kind except that it's made in China.

TIA.

Southco? Southco - Latches, Hinges, Fasteners, Engineered Access Hardware

Thanks, they have similar units.

I've sent the camper manufacturer an inquiry; hopefully they can tell me the name of the latch maker.

I would have guessed southco as well. Marine industry looking latches are their specialty.

Hopefully they'll sell to a normal Joe w/o a min quantity!

I knew those countless hours of research for my trailer would come in handy someday.

I hope it works out for you.
