Replaced catches in motorhome. Hope this helps others . Here I used 3/8 drive 3/4 socket to hit out on push in surround . After takeing two screws out to remove catch . The pushed new surround in door or drawer . Screws button on catch . Assemble . Done . Good for another ten or so years ..
A little out of sequence . But hope it can be worked out . The socket helped big time . I used a screw driver on first one . It can damage the door . HTH Graeme

Don't replace these when they stop woking. Use a bit of a cable tie as the spring replacement, it will outlast a new one. Once you open up the back, you can see where it needs to be very easily.

Never mind, found them on CaravansPlus.com.au for less than $5 each plus postage.
