Hello Martin, thanks for reaching out. Really sorry to hear that happened. Hopefully nothing was stolen and you and your family are safe.

I looked up the Trimark T517 and it appears to be a 5-1/4" tall 4-3/4" wide baggage door latch with no plunger. We do have a similar size latch, the Global Link # 295-000015, but this has a standard plunger. We do not offer any of the non-plunger style latches.

Hi Jessie, thanks for checking on this. I am having issues finding the latch unit without a plunger. My latches are located nean the middle-lower part of the door and use metal "push/pull" rods to activate the plunger. I can send pics if that helps? thanks, martin

@Martinj Yea the non-plunger style latches are not common. You can email pictures to me at [email protected] and I am happy to take a look, no guarantee we would have anything for you though. Typically I would not do this but I did a quick google search for the Trimark T517 lock and it looks like a popular website named after a South American jungle has them. Not that I want to send you there but if you need a direct replacement it looks like it would be possible to get them.
