[RV LABS] Locking Drawer Latch - Satin White [42 or 100mm]

Screws Not Included: The package does not include screws for installation, as the appropriate screws depend on the depth of the material the door or drawer is made from.

Screw Recommendation: We recommend using #8 screws at the appropriate length for securing the latch. The longer the screw (the thicker the door/drawer front), the stronger the latch will be.

Lubrication: After installation, we recommend applying a quick spray of WD-40 or silicone lubricant into the top of the latch mechanism for smooth operation. If there is any friction when using the latch, adding additional lubricant will typically resolve this issue.

Opening the Latch: When opening the latch, we recommend using your knuckles as a lever against the door/drawer frame to make the pulling motion easier.

Adjusting Attachment Screws: If the latch isn’t releasing freely/easily, it may be because the attachment screws are too tight. Try backing these screws out slightly (1/4 turn at a time).

Latch and Catch: Each door or drawer should have its own latch, and each latch needs its own catch/striker plate (included). For drawers, we recommend a rail for each drawer where the catch can be installed.

Drilling for Catches: A 1-3/16″ Forstner bit is recommended for drilling out the openings for the catches. There is a hole in the center of the catch that you can use to mark the location of the center of your drill bit.
