Does anyone know of a source for the cabinet latches that have the little white push buttons?   On half of mine the buttons have decayed to where they are crumbling.  I can't help but think there were tons of these made for use other than for Alsakan campers.  I have tried searching here and the net, but it is really hard to narrow down the search parameters.

Thanks.

 I doubt you will find those latches so you might think about changing out the latches. I have used Hardware Tree

https://www.hardwaretree.com

as a source for latches for RV cabinets.

VTS might be able to point you toward other latch types you could use.

Have you tried calling Alaskan? If they don’t have any, they might know a source, or recommend a good replacement.

If anyone is looking for them, I found the same latch but with a brown pushbutton in several loactions including ebay.  They are "RV Essentials H243" .
