Brass Photos and information are available in the Part Photos link on the left sidebar. Brass is the replacement for the plastic version. http://www.whalercentral.com/photogal...hoto_id=28 Edited by Joe Kriz on 07/31/10 - 8:40 PM

My doors both pop open in rougher water and it's bugged me so much I keep them locked, which is a hassle to get anything, plus my fire ext is in there. For whatever reason I forget once I'm home. I ordered "cabinet catches" here, size 1-11/16", for $2.95 each set http://www.sailboatstuff.com/cb_latch...chasp.html 2 sets + priority USPS = $11.95 Cape Dory 28 Hobie 20 Miracle A Class Catamaran

I wonder if they just need to be adjusted. I think I ordered the new one from a cabinet place that someone on WC reccommended. Is it possible they are not strong enough. They were almost the same size as the old ones.

(Finnegan's Comment) They have 2 adjustable screws on the springs for the balls of the closer. Tighten them just enough so they don't pop open in choppy water.
