What's up everybody, it's AJ with etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna be checking out this refrigerator vent latch from JR Products. It's just going to be a replacement part that goes in one of the corners here of your refrigerator vent. We got one that broke, so we're ready to pop that one out. So we're gonna remove the vent and replace it with this one. So just go ahead and take it back out of its spot.
And you see, this is the backside, this one. We're gonna go ahead and replace this one too, just because we got two of them in the pack. This one's not broken, but just wanna put the new ones in and get it set back up. Let's check it out. So now we came back inside so we can have a tabletop to kind of work on, easier to show you how to pop these out.
So this one's not broken, but what we're gonna do is get a Phillips screwdriver and just kind of pry up on that top part, see how it starts to pop out on its own, and then you don't need the screwdriver anymore. You can kind of twist it with your hand and it'll pop out. So we've got our new ones here. We're gonna kind of do the opposite. And pull that pin back out, that way this section can clamp in a little bit smaller and then push it into place, just like that.
You can rotate that, push it in further and you've replaced it. Comes in a kit of two, so you have both of them we're gonna replace. Just gonna go and do the same thing for the other one, and then we can go put our vent back on outside. I'm back outside, I just slid the vent back into place. And with these up and down, you can see it goes right there in a place.
Then I'll come back with my Flathead screwdriver, twist that, and that locks it in. And now you can't remove the vent, and it's nice and tight. Overall, it's a good replacement part to have. You don't want the vent rattling as you drive down the road, and these are quite common to break, so they're easy to replace. That's another good thing. Just make sure you look at your vent and see which clips you have. You can look at the ones you have, like let's say one broke so you can take the other one out and look at it. There's thin and thick versions of this. We have both of them on our website, just look. If it's a really thin plastic, you're gonna need the thin ones, depending on your vent cover. And if it's a little thicker then you're gonna go with a thick one like we use today to keep this vent in place. Well I think that does it. Thanks for hanging out and hope this helped..

Thick wall vent latches replace worn or damaged latches on your RV refrigerator exterior or interior converter doors. Works with walls up to 3/16" thick. Includes 2 latches.
The parts themselves are 'excellent' as supplied by etrailer, but this particular common engineering solution used by RV manufacturers is weak and often fails. A better replacement is not available thus it is prudent to keep a little pile of these stashed to make repairs.
As a bicycle rider, I see the doors for refrigerator vents and other utilities spread across the sagebrush of the western states alongside the road because these little plastic fasteners have failed.
Product as described. Customer service from etrailer is top notch and lightening fast shipping!
Extra fast shipping! Much appreciated.
Product as described.
Good latches. They work as they should and really quick shipping. They seem a little pricey with the shipping and all but truth is I would hate to have to duplicate them
for any price. I'm sure i will be back with this seller. Thank You

They are still working great. Only used for winter decom. and spring commissioning. Send to turn my Frig Defend off for the winter.
etrailer described part exactly, since there are two versions. Thin and Thick. Previously ordered by a large online retailer which shipped the wrong part although it was described. Had to return it. Trust etrailer for the exact part. Fit my 2008 Newmar Kountry Star.
Fit as they should, quick shipping, Thank You
They were an exact replacement for what I needed. I found it very hard to pop the inner twisting piece down inside the clip. They do not arrive looking like the picture. See my picture of how they arrive.
A little pricy for a piece of small plastic but works as it should. Time will tell
If they hold up.
Just what I needed.
Worked beautifully for a Replacement for our customer
Price and service are excellent
They work and are durable enough to work as advertised
The latches worked as advertised.
2 pack. Each latch comes as one piece with no instructions. I figured out what to do. Works great. Only concern is that I needed to do some things to make it work properly. Ok if you are mechanical and/or industrious.
They worked as they should
Excellent match to my RV refrigerator access panel
The latches work just fine. A little pricey, when one includes shipping, but they seem to be solid.
These vent latches are the exact replacement and fit for my Norcold equipped Winnebago Motor Coach. The perfect part, fit, price, and service that I have grown to expect from ETrailer. Thanks!
They lock clips worked perfectly on the refrigerator vent on my Casita travel trailer. Delivery was quick and once again excellent service.
Latches arrived quickly and fit perfectly in reefer service door!
Exactly what we needed
JUSTIN HAS ALWAYS GONE BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY. THAT IS WHY I USE ETRAILER.
These are identical to the ones on my fridge vent panel. I broke one even though I handled it carefully. So I have one more on hand if I break the other. These are so hard to find, glad etrailer sells them.
Thank you Etrailer for the quick shipping and a good product and price.
This little order is not much to talk about :-)
I guess that these guys are who I choose to do business with is the point of mention!!
