the forward cabin door latch mechanism broke in a particularly obnoxious way, locked closed. had to take the door off the hinges to open it, but now I'm looking for the replacement. 2004 us built, no marking or serial numbers on the latch of course. any Ideas?
thanks.
Todd.

Todd - I have a new one in my nav table waiting to be installed - I will take a photo of the packaging and upload it for you! Can't remember where I bought it.

Thanks, I took the door off and disassembled the latch, the interior mechanism had jumped it's catches, perhaps from getting hit by a foot or something during a spinnaker takedown when it was accidentally locked and the door closed. It was not actually broken, and when reassembled, works fine. I ordered the replacement knob rather than handle for the inside, hoping to avoid this in the future, clearly the door should be open as another precaution. Now our big joke aboard is waiting for something similar to happen when someone is in the head, lol.
