Set of 5 Push Button Catch Cupboard Door Knob Latch Lock for RV Camper Motor Home Caravan

Encell Set of 5 Push Button Catch Cupboard...SOLD BY: EncellThis is a tough review. I rated the catch mostly for performance. It does exactly what it says it will do. I took a star off for the material it is made of and the extra work involved to install.First installing in the door. You have two concerns for installation, the distance from the cabinet where the latch will catch onto and the correct spot to drill the hole.The distance to the cabinet is important because the bar you use to catch the latch is not very long. The screws that are supplied are a taper head but there is no taper on the bar. This creates a high spot and if you install the latch too close to the bar and it hits the head of the screw, the latch wont work. If the bar were longer, this problem would be less of a concern but if you miss it, you have a lot of work ahead to make it work.The spot you drill into the door or drawer has only one perfect distance from the cabinet where it will latch. If you are too close, it won't latch, too far away and you miss the bar completely. You don't have a lot of room for your measurements and they do not send instructions or a layout drawing for the holes. This puts all the work on you. ( Don't think this is the only seller that does this, it is more common than not. )When you drill the hole in the perfect spot, know this, you probably will use a 3/4" drill or hole saw. This is fine for the handle but the collar will warp if you force it in. You will need to open the hole slightly with a file, to fit the collar in place.DO THIS TEST. once the collar is in place, the knob should be able to slide all the way through to the other side of the door/drawer. If it sticks, you risk being unable to lock the latch or getting locked and unable to unlock the latch to open the compartment.Once you have the hole sized correctly and the collar is in place you can place the latch. No, your problems are not over yet.The basic material that the latch body is made of is plastic. it will move with pressure. YOU MUST try to locate the screws in exact dead center of the holes to mount to the door/drawer. If you are off, the latch will either not work or it will stick. I almost recommend just oversizing the hole and fill the hole with filler and insert the screw to prevent bending the latch plastic body. But you can get it exact if you are careful by drilling.I just came in from installing some of these in Hard OAK wood cabinets and you have to be very exact so you don't bend the latch body.After install, if all goes well, they all work as stated, and looks very nice.It would be much easier if the material was stiffer or metal but can't seem to find any products that are as easy to operate as these so you do your best.I looked for a long time and finally decided on these because the foot print was small and the color goes well with my Oak Wood cabinetry. Now installed, they perform well, though being plastic, i am expecting to need to do some tweeks sometime in the future. But they will hold the cabinet doors and drawers closed when traveling, and that's exactly what I needed.I obviously am not on the sellers payroll and no, I did not receive any compensation for my independent review.

They work very well.

Update: lastet about a year and now some of knobs come loose..Yes, it's all plastic and if you can afford it go with Sea Dog (chrome plated brass knobs) or Five Oceans (they sell latches with plastic chrome knobs and chrome plated brass knobs), but you will pay $15-20 for ONE, while these are $22 for FIVE. They work and there are also other brands selling the same latches (the ones with the rectangular housing have bigger knobs) . You will need a 3/4" spade bit, I used a 13/16" but the holes were a little big. If you have issues and the latch doesn't want to unlock (test in open position first!) loosen up the screws a little and it will work. I used them for all the cabinet doors in my Sprinter van conversion and they look great, I will update about how the plastic holds up.

I don’t trust chrome plated plastic. I’m probably going to be returning. I cannot possibly imagine these feeling any cheaper in my hand. I’m not real happy about my time being wasted… the plunger rod is pot metal, which is garbage, and everything else is plated plastic. Steer clear!!!

I used these on the cabinets in my trailer camper (tramper) conversation. They work and look good for their intended purposes. Down sides are there aren't any instructions or templates and if you don't measure almost perfectly you're going to be needing a dremmel tool for trimming to fix it.

The media could not be loaded.  Nice little latches for the price. They are plastic so the durability is questionable, but so far they have worked very well. Just don't over torque the screws, it causes them to bind.

1 3/16" is the magic number! The center of your hole needs to be that distance from the mating surface or the gods will punish you. Might even go 1 1/4" just to be safe.

Can’t beat the price but the product is made of all plastic and you definitely get what you pay for. They work pretty well but feel very cheap and catch a lot when you push them in
