Title: Looking for broken Shower Door latch replacement part
Post by: Barry Beam on April 15, 2015, 06:31:10 pm
My Shower thru the door latch has broken off and after searching I cannot find anything that looks like it. I need to replace it. Anyone know where to locate one or a part number? I am sure it is a common shower door part. My wife said not to fix this one with duct tape  ::)  Go figure !

IIRC last year FOT parts had replacements.  It's an Alumax shower door lock so you could also try calling Alumax.

When ours broke, Steve JBweld-ed it.  When we replaced the shower surround it came with a new one.

A couple of years back FOT supplied me one but I don't recall the price.

less on eBay (free shipping) than Amazon (plus shipping) Both are RIDICULOUS!

We couldn't find a polished brass latch so we got the black one from amazon.  ;D

A little Krylon or Testor's model paint and you'll be all matchy-matchy  ;)

And if you cannot find a replacement, drill & tap both halves, screw a Loctite coated threaded stud into the halves and you will be good to go. Make sure you put it together thru the door before the Loctite sets up.
