Heads (toilet) door closing mechanism My heads door closing mechanism, after 50 years, has a lot of play, so when I turn the wooden knob to open or close the door the plunger which goes into the plate in the door frame does not release. So sometimes it is very difficult to go into or out of the heads compartment (both situations can be embarassing). The fault is in the latch assembly (photo attached). The spindle joining the two door knobs goes through a square hole which is no longer square. I am looking for a replacement latch assembly or an alternative idea which does not require major surgery on the beautiful door |

It does not look like a Kwikset but looks like the (probably) original cylinder lock, see attached pic. Martin (Vellamo, 48/039) Cylinder lock |

Dear Matteo, I agree that it looks very, very similar and is most probably at least alike (so regarding the guy on the boat show, may his name be forgotten!). Can you match the diameter you have on the boat to a part number on the Kwikset website? There seem to be no data available. Martin |
