Hi we have a broken latch and we're hoping you'd help some not so handy people identify a replacement part! Thanks'!

The style of your lock is a little peculiar, but not by that much. We may be able to get a good replacement for you, but before I recommend anything I would like you to confirm the distance between the two installation holes, center-to-center. I unfortunately can't make it out in your photo.

Hi Tom - thanks so much for responding. I just measured and I believe the distance between the holes center to center is 2 and 1/16th inches.

Thanks!

Thanks, Joe. The closest option we have appears to be our 90-278, though it's not exactly the same. The keeper that comes with it is different, so if it can work you'd have to reuse your original. It also doesn't wrap around the keeper like yours does but I'm hoping that won't really come into play. Look it over and see what you think.

Hi Tom - I just wanted to let you know that the piece worked! I am so happy that we took care of this chore. We will buy a few others just in case another one breaks! Thanks for this - we really appreciate it!

Thanks,
