plastic thingamabobs - what are they really called (1 Viewer)

[dna]

Attached is a photo of the plastic mouldings from the 3 drawer unit in our Tribute PVC. They are the piece that the drawer latch touches to keep the drawer closed.

As you can tell I cant find the right name for them so searching for a source of replacements is not going well!

Does anyone know the proper name for them please? I have written to Autotrail to ask with no luck so far

Perhaps “Keep”

Get some one to 3d print them for you.

Try a search for catch plates

thanks all, I've tried catch plates. Will have a go with "keep" . It seems that 2 piece right angled plates are quite common but these with 3 pieces are rare. My fall back is to try making some from aluminium.

I don't know anyone close to here with a 3d printer. I wonder if I could get away with the B&B buying one

It's a strike plate ...

Brilliant, thank you.

I’ll check the dimensions when I get chance.

strike plate/catch plate/keep plastic crap basically

So I remanufacture them in metal if any need replacing

Autotrail have now answered and apparently they are z catches and £2.30 each plus VAT and delivery.

I'll do some more searching and might be trying the DIY option

Good look with searching, I spent ages yesterday looking for you including "Z catch" amongst other things and simply couldn't find them - you could try ringing camper/mh/caravan parts suppliers, the one that comes to mind initially is Oleary's, you'll need to ring them though as what is on their website is a small fraction of what they actually stock:

Thank you for searching. I don’t hold out much hope that I will do any better. Even if I find anything the lack of measurements on descriptions mean they could be completely the wrong size.
I have the same trouble getting parts for the business. This week we have found a toilet cracked beyond repair. Finding a replacement which won’t result in retiling the wall is not a quick job when suppliers don’t include measurement drawings.
Keeps me occupied though

You might be able to pick a used toilet up on Ebay etc - when our tenants moved out of our rental bungalow a couple of years or so ago they had cracked the corner of the toilet pan lid, bearing in mind this toilet was installed in 2006 I feared I might have to replace the whole thing which, although they'd have paid for it, was hassle we could well do without. Fortunately I found one on Ebay, the right type and colour!
