Cabinet catch

January 22, 2018, 01:24:45 pm

Yes, I know I can buy a cabinet door catch at Lowes. I, however, am a purest, and actually like the little black doo dahs that came with the 2001 coach. I will TRY and upload a picture, but if anyone knows where to buy some ( already broke two while at Quartzite ) and want to " stock up ".  Next, I'll tell you how the corian cover to the stove snapped at the hinges ( my wife says she's innocent ...I knew it was an accident waiting to happen ) and what my " fix " will be. I'm between cutting back the damaged edge and laminating walnut strips for the hinges ( corian was never intended to hold screws ) ....OR.....DW wants me to fab a new walnut cover, which will look COOL and be lighter to handle. Think the wood cover will win out. I'll take pictures.

OOPS....since I changed to Google Photos on my IMac, I don't know how to attach the photo. Oh well.........

Blow a couple of hours on Google with different descriptions of the latch. I just did that with our bathroom handle, found a exact match, but it took some time!

The Southco Grabber catches come in 3, 5 and 10 lb capacity.  Buying one is pretty expensive so shop around, watch shipping costs.  Buying a bag of 5 is cheaper.  The 5 lb are pretty universal, 3 lb are OK for a door.  There work pretty well as drawer catches too.  Get rid of those hard to work finger push catches.

Ditto what Roger said on Southco. Think I still have two. If you are still here in Q I'll be there tomorrow.

Great. Thanks, again. I think the 5 lb would be better than the 10 lb, which seem too strong. They both state that they are for RV and MH.

I'm in Quartzsite and also have extras. I'm in the Dome Rock area for a couple of days, then south of town with the Lemon gang for a few days.
