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..
Hard plastic seems more durable than OEM that came with trailer (2013 Winnebago trailer). Lifetime warranty welcome--will see how it lasts. Better instructions on package on how to connect the 2 parts to avoid possibly cracking the plastic desired; as mentioned by others, requires forceful insertion of parts together.
Everything was prompt from the first email confirmation to the on time delivery. I will use etrailer for future orders to maintain my RV. Thank you so much!
Just picked up latches today looks like correct items.We will be going to where our rv is next week will let you know if it correct item.
Worked Perfectly
Excellent. Customer service . Arrive on time and great product
etrailer described part exactly, since there are two versions. Thin and Thick. Previously ordered by a large online retailer which shipped the wrong part although it was described. Had to return it. Trust etrailer for the exact part. Fit my 2008 Newmar Kountry Star.
They lock clips worked perfectly on the refrigerator vent on my Casita travel trailer. Delivery was quick and once again excellent service.
You had what I needed and it looked to be good quality, and made in the USA. Thanks
2 pack. Each latch comes as one piece with no instructions. I figured out what to do. Works great. Only concern is that I needed to do some things to make it work properly. Ok if you are mechanical and/or industrious.
Right after I installed one of the clips, the plastic broke.
They were an exact replacement for what I needed. I found it very hard to pop the inner twisting piece down inside the clip. They do not arrive looking like the picture. See my picture of how they arrive.
Great people, product delivered as desc ribed

Perfect
The parts themselves are 'excellent' as supplied by etrailer, but this particular common engineering solution used by RV manufacturers is weak and often fails. A better replacement is not available thus it is prudent to keep a little pile of these stashed to make repairs.
As a bicycle rider, I see the doors for refrigerator vents and other utilities spread across the sagebrush of the western states alongside the road because these little plastic fasteners have failed.
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.
Product as described. Customer service from etrailer is top notch and lightening fast shipping!
worked good just have to be careful when u tape them in i broke the first one
Fast shipping and excellent communication on the status from order to receipt!
The product is fine. However, I paid $XC.00 for overnight shipping and it took three day's to arrive. First, they wouldn't ship to a PO Box then when given a physical address it still took two days. Don't fall for "Overnight" delivery!!
Part worked exactly as expected. Previous reviews said part was a bit difficult to assemble. Knowing this helped. It was not too hard to assemble.
Extra fast shipping! Much appreciated.
Product as described.

Works fine after a year.
Specific directions would have been hel pful
They worked good.
Good latches. They work as they should and really quick shipping. They seem a little pricey with the shipping and all but truth is I would hate to have to duplicate them
for any price. I'm sure i will be back with this seller. Thank You
