Part 10-057

I am wondering if Part 10-057 is what I need to replace a damaged ball latch. There are three pieces to my item: (1) a cylinder that is 1-1/8" high with a 5/8" diameter opening at one end, (2) a threaded insert that is about 3/8" high and screws into the cylinder, and (3) a metal ball that fits inside the insert and protrudes above the lip. There is also a spring that pushes against the ball, and a striker place on the frame of the door.

The part that failed is the threaded insert (2); the retaining ring has broken off, and the spring now pushes the ball all the way through the insert.

I'm willing to gamble on the part if you think it might work.

Many thanks.

Bill

I am not certain if our 10-057 will work, but functionally it works the same and is our closest part. If you do try it, let me know if it works out for you--future customers would probably profit from knowing. Many thanks.
