Drawer and cupboard latches

Vidas, Bushtracker use a marine grade catch so that it can be positively locked in place during travel. I think they look like this and this is from the Camec site.

Vidas, This particular model catch/knob has been fitted to BT's for some time maybe right back to the first ones. I have 14 in mine so in the larger BT's they would have 18-20 of them. They have certainly stood the test of time and my children have thrashed them ... something that goes click when you press it fascinates a child. I have not heard of any probs with them. One of mine was slightly sticky when the van was new but after the first 20 openings it went away .... One advantage of these is they are flush with the cupboard/drawer when the latch is locked giving the appearance of no knobs on the drawers ...when locked. That also makes it easy to see if any are open before travelling .... not flush equals still open. Regards Anthony Explore this Great Land ...Do it Easy ...Tow a Bushtracker

Vidas, in Griff's folder in the photo marked Microwave you can see the difference between the catches opened and closed quite well. Angie

Thanks for the response to my qestion. Our current latches look very much like the pictures in Angies response and to the description provided by the other responses. The drawers in our present kitchen pop open. In our pot and pan drawer which is qite heavy the thread on the push button knob is stripped and the draw cant be pulled open using the knob. After reading your replys i had a closerlook at our latches and i cant see a brand name on them. Apart from the thread they look sturdy. the only conclusion i can make is they are not fitted correctly. I will go to a marine products outlet and have a look at new ones. Thanks again vidas
