On the RV – My screen door just flopped around because the metal magnetic latches were broken. I decided that this was the easiest and quickest fix and a good place to start with my rv restoration process on this 1982 Fleetwood Jamboree .
- First I removed the broken latches with a handheld screw driver.
Â
 - Then I took the broken part over to Al’s RV (a motorhome and trailer parts store in Arizona) to match it up with a new part. I purchased 2 latches (one for the top of the door and one for the bottom). This is what one package looked like:
 - After getting the latches back to my house, I took the original screws and manually screwed them into the door frame with the new latches in place. Here is the finished piece.
In total I spent $7 for the new magnetic latches – and I am very happy with the result 
I am in the process of writing a series of step by step articles (with pictures!) about my restoration process. If you would like to be notified about that series then tell me your email address:
