2016 Starcraft Launch 21FBS Slam-Latch

[Biff]

We bought a used 21FBS last weekend and need to replace a pass through hatch slam-latch. It is labeled LCI Slam-Latch on the inside, is fastened with 4 Phillips screws, is 4 3/4" wide x 4 1/2" tall rectangular with 1 key lock.
The pressed metal cylinder broke and I assume I can only replace the entire assembly.
Does anyone know a specific part I can order to replace this?
Thanks very much for your help!

This doesn't have specifications on it to see the size. But does this look similar to what you have?

Midnightmoon,
Thanks for your reply.
It looks similar but I'm not sure it's the same.
I tried to attach pictures of what I've got here.

It is odd that yours doesn't have a visible part number on it.

[Biff]

Agreed. I texted a local dealer who asked for the VIN. He had to email Starcraft because their catalog didn't list a replacement part number.


If I hear back from the dealer with a part number I'll post it here in case it can help someone else.

I finally heard from my dealer;


Sorry for the delay. It took 11 emails to get the answers I needed. So you can't get just the latch and Jayco does not offer a substitute. They say you must order the whole door with the latch. The price of the door with the latch is $249.95. The original latch was made by LCI but is not available thru them either. I also google searched and can't find any. And if that is not bad enough news if you did order the door, I would expect it to take several months.


I'm thinking about buying one of the latches I've seen online and either adapting it to the opening in my door or using it for parts to fix the one I have.


Not what I had hoped but I've got to get the door latched.
