dobinson/titan drawers replacement latch 8 dollar fix

To those who own a dobinson/titan drawers with a fridge slide latch that likes to unlatch by itself. I found a cheap replacement on amazon that is the OEM spec (uses same mounting holes) but reverses the latch tension.

So the crappy latch that comes with the fridge slide, has the latch locked under tension, which means offroading or the slightest bump in the road will cause the latch to lose its tension and unlock itself.

The new latch on amazon, when the latch is locked, it is not under spring tension, so it stays locked unless u want to unlock it then u have to pull the latch, with the key ring.

I wheeled in moab with a fridge mounted and it worked flawlessly.

as you aussies like to say: CHEERS
