What's up everybody, it's AJ with etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna be checking out this refrigerator vent latch from JR Products. It's just going to be a replacement part that goes in one of the corners here of your refrigerator vent. We got one that broke, so we're ready to pop that one out. So we're gonna remove the vent and replace it with this one. So just go ahead and take it back out of its spot.
And you see, this is the backside, this one. We're gonna go ahead and replace this one too, just because we got two of them in the pack. This one's not broken, but just wanna put the new ones in and get it set back up. Let's check it out. So now we came back inside so we can have a tabletop to kind of work on, easier to show you how to pop these out.
So this one's not broken, but what we're gonna do is get a Phillips screwdriver and just kind of pry up on that top part, see how it starts to pop out on its own, and then you don't need the screwdriver anymore. You can kind of twist it with your hand and it'll pop out. So we've got our new ones here. We're gonna kind of do the opposite. And pull that pin back out, that way this section can clamp in a little bit smaller and then push it into place, just like that.
You can rotate that, push it in further and you've replaced it. Comes in a kit of two, so you have both of them we're gonna replace. Just gonna go and do the same thing for the other one, and then we can go put our vent back on outside. I'm back outside, I just slid the vent back into place. And with these up and down, you can see it goes right there in a place.
Then I'll come back with my Flathead screwdriver, twist that, and that locks it in. And now you can't remove the vent, and it's nice and tight. Overall, it's a good replacement part to have. You don't want the vent rattling as you drive down the road, and these are quite common to break, so they're easy to replace. That's another good thing. Just make sure you look at your vent and see which clips you have. You can look at the ones you have, like let's say one broke so you can take the other one out and look at it. There's thin and thick versions of this. We have both of them on our website, just look. If it's a really thin plastic, you're gonna need the thin ones, depending on your vent cover. And if it's a little thicker then you're gonna go with a thick one like we use today to keep this vent in place. Well I think that does it. Thanks for hanging out and hope this helped..

Thin wall vent latches replace worn or damaged latches on your RV refrigerator exterior or interior converter doors. Works with walls up to 1/16" thick. Includes 2 latches.We have an older Lance Truck Camper who has the older version of the refrigerator vent latches. Couldn't find a replacement in our usual haunts in Tucson for one of our latches that broke. Everyone has the newer version! But etrailer came through like they have done for us so many times. They had the latch and we got it in time to go out camping! Thank you etrailer.
not much to tell. saw a missing clip, etrailer had them. ordered and installed.

1 year latter and the replacment clips have not gone missing. the trailer has also not gone back to the dealer sooo....
A perfect fit and looks great too. Keeping an old travel trailer looking newer is as easy as replacing some of the small things that the weather takes a toll on.

The good news is nothing has changed. The vent latches still look and work the same as the day I installed them. Good product.
These work great. The order came as expected and the entire transaction was easy. I'll be using this service in the future.
I just bought a 2009 Jayco RV that used these clips to hold the refrigerator vent. The existing looked like they were old and brittle and would break, so I bought these as replacements before tried to remove the existing. price was cheap so I bought both the thick and thin. The arrived quickly, but when I removed the existing they didn't break. lol. So this are still in the package as a spare. but look exactly like the existing ones.
Purchased both "thin" and "thick" sizes, just in case. Thick (3/16) is correct size for 2016 Thor Axis 24.1 frig vent; thin is probably for metal or very thin plastic covers. Fast delivery, fits perfectly, easy to install, and etrailer.com always has what we need.
They worked great, little learning curve, almost broke one. I have these on my trailer but I needed this for my home air return vent

Update on learning curve, just watch their video for replacement, I didnt so it was more difficult. Dont use a Phillips screw driver, use a flat one.
They were just the part that I needed. Better than stock!

No issues
Picture is misleading, however, if your not an RV tech you may not realize that what you rec is a 1 pc unit that you have to break apart and assembly to make it work and look like the picture. A picture before and after might help. Once assembled the item works well. Ordering and shipping was good, I would do business with these people again.

Hasnt broken yet :
Exactly what I needed!!
Exactly the correct item for my electrical panel catches.
Bought to fix a broken latch on my RV breaker box. Snapped right in and works awesome! Super fast shipping on a quality product.
This is the 3rd or 4th item I’ve purchased from etrailer and each one has been good express. I’ve gotten what I wanted, in a timely manner. When I’ve asked questions, I got timely responses.
I’ll gladly continue to order my camper parts here.

We are sad to hear that your order arrived missing the second latch. I have sent this information over to our customer service team for them to contact you.
Works great. Glad you have these kind of replacement parts.
Also good to have extras on hand as well.
Thanks Mark
This vent latch worked perfectly as a replacement for my RV fuse box cover. I was concerned that I might not be able to find a replacement but this one worked great.
