Hey Timm, thanks for the pictures! Based on seeing them and the dimensions I can see the correct replacement you need is the # BA57FR. Did yours break?

Yes my LCI one broke for the second time, the pot metal in them at the hidge is a weak area. Are these pot metal too?

@TimmH it does appear to be die cast zinc although we have had better luck with this brand than others in terms of reliability.

I recently replaced the outside lower storage compartment latch on my 2003 Georgie Boy Landau. The Bauer BA57FR was a direct replacement. The latch does not come with the back plate or 4 screws; however, the back plate and screws from the old latch fit perfectly. My biggest issue was that my old latch broke in the closed position. It is a very special trick with a self-made tool to defeat the old latch. The face of the new Bauer latch doesn't cover as much as the old latch faceplate did. The new latch is tapered more at the bottom, and the edges are more rounded. Despite that, it worked and was simple to install, even without instructions.
