Difference Between Thin and Thick Wall Refrigerator Vent Latches  

Question:

Is there a difference in the length of the thin and thick clips? I have my old broken one I can measure. We have a 2001 Fleetwood Jamboree 29Z with a Dometic frig. Thanks,

The difference between the Thin Wall # 372235 and Thick Wall # 372245 refrigerator vent latches has to do with the recess in the clip themselves. The thin wall clips are designed for walls up to 1/16" thick which is generally your sheet metal walls. The thick wall clips are designed for walls up to 3/16" thick which is for most fiberglass gelcoat walls that are laminated to a thin luan sheet. You can measure the recessed area at the wall edge of your clip to determine which clip you need.
