What's up everybody It's AJ with etrailer.com. Today we're going to check out this water heater door latch replacement part for your camper RV. You can see here we're missing ours and we can't drive our camper down the road because then this door will be smacking against the side, and it's just not safe to be doing that. It's really easy replacement. Let's show you how to do it.The latch itself includes this ring, which is the handle, a spring, and then the hooks here on the inside that hold it in place. We're going to push on that spring, and you can see the notches when I do that.
Here, I'll do it again from the side. You can see the notches in the metal in the middle are thinner than those at the top. So we're going to get this handle down to that part and that unhooks it. And you can pull that out, and that releases the spring. Now with that sideways, I can push down, pop that out real easily, and pull the center part out.
Now with the parts separated, you can get a better idea of what we have. You've got the center hooks here. That'll go in there with the spring around it and we'll add the handle last. So make sure you put the spring in the hooks like that.I'll push it through here, and I'll reattach our handle. See how it's pulled nice and tight there.
Then you can bring your cover back up. Fits through, then pull on it because the spring. Just get a little more out of it, turn it that way. And you're good. It's not going anywhere as you go down the road.Overall, I think it's a great replacement part.
I've seen some of the other ones that come out of their RVs and campers on their water heaters, and they just don't hold up as well. You can tell that they've been out in the elements. They look a little dingy over time. This one's not going to do that. It's going to hold up just fine. It's a pretty simple replacement part. It was easy for me to install. That does it for our look at our water heater door latch. Hope this helps..
Way better the the plastic junk that comes with the trailer. Fast shipping and great service. What more can you ask for.

Worked perfect!
It was delivered exactly as advertised and simple to install.
I had purchased one before from local RV dealer, but could not figure out how to install properly.
The installation videos on etrailer are a life saver, not to mention saving the cost of paying dealer service department to do simple repairs.

After 8 years of use, my plastic handled water heater door latch finally broke. A quick search on etrailer gave me the solution, this Metal handled replacement. The video for installation was spot on, the order process was simple and was delivered on time. Installed in 30 seconds, and feels very sturdy and secure. Just a small part, but very important to secure the water heater door.
Perfect fit and great service as always from etrailer

Easy to install and it works just like the original. Very pleased.
Exactly what I was needing!
Thanks for shipping this so quick. Helped me fix what I broke on someone else’s camper.
Lock was just what I needed and made of metal rather than the old plastic one. Has been in service for a year and working great! Happy with this product.
Installation was relatively easy, instructions were straight forward and easy to follow.
