i need a cooler latch for my 86 starflite and i have called and looked everywhere! some one throw me a bone please,:brickwall: i wanna pull my hair out:pissed:, someone please
 
no thats not it. I will have to put a pic on here of it. it looks like it is the one that came on the boat in 86. its long and skinny, story of my life:offtopic: any ways it has a pop up latch and like i was saying it is rectangular in shape. i will put pic tonight
 
I will PM you the number, the latches I bought from them were non locking and about 1.5x3 inches give or take. I searched all over, could not find them anywhere but Checkmate. They arent cheap, about $50 each.
 
Yup, unless you can figure out who manufacturers them, Checkmate is the only place you will find them. I looked everywhere and finally ponied up and got them from Mike.
 
I thought I could tell you who made them, but I tossed the boxes they came in. Darn it!!
 
Do they look like these ? These are off my 97 Playmate - they are Perkos if I am recall.

The replacement ones they sell look a bit different, but get the job done.

The O.P. hasn't been online here for a couple years, this is a pretty old thread. It does sound like the general consensus was to call Checkmate to order them. That's probably your best bet.
