Cabinet round push button latch stuck

I had a stuck latch once and it produced mild panic on my part. The latch was on the liquor cabinet. That latch has been replaced.
 
Good info - Thanks!
Why the bleach for your water tank?
 
Haha! The most critic

Lots of threads on here about sanitizing water systems. Most marina's have potable water. But water that sits in their pipes and then goes through a hose to sit in your tank "might" go sour or have bacterial growth. About a capful (small amount) of unscented bleach to 40 gallons of water increases the chance it will stay clean. More is not necessary or good for pipes/seals.

Spring routine is to use more bleach in the initial fill/flush cycle, then revert to the capful per fill.

Very good to know - thank you
 
Do yourself a favor and get this too. I used to just fill my water tank from the hose and after about 4-5 not using the water it would smell like rotten eggs and ass. I flushed entire system with a little bleach and refilled using this conected to the hose. I pour just a little bleach in it and have never had a problem since. Nothing worse then swimming in dirty jersey water and getting out to hose off and then smelling like the toxic avenger...

Great idea - I can't see the manufacturer -
 
Great idea - Please reply with the manufacturer and if possible the part number. I will buy this as I use a water hose also.
 
It's a Camco from Walmart - Pulled right up! Thanks Again

You are correct - The ones I bought are too short for the cabinet drawers. If anyone does find the longer ones, please let us know!

Just called Boat Outfitters and they do not carry a longer one. What stinks is I had to basically destroy the old gold outer ring when pressing it out so I doubt it can be reused. Will comb the web and share what I find.

Thank you everyone for your replies

Always liked repairs to radar units on our F-4's aboard the carrier - "What fixed it?".."We 'malletized' it"...rubber hammers work in amazing ways!!!

Ok - Yes, I destroyed the gold ring to remove it also. The cabinet doors that have the sprung door closers are the ones I have replaced so far. As to the 3 drawers, I'm still trying to figure out what I can do with those. So for now, I have a mix, which is pretty tacky, but I'm sure there is a solution. If I find one I will post it here.

I’ll second that FP sugesstion.

I was looking to replace the old gold with silver and FP Marine, Flounder Pounder, carried them. I think it’s 5/8 or 3/4” sizes.

Not cheap, but nothing is anymore and it’s good to have some spares.

Here is the exact FP page for getting the replacement buttons and rings. This makes it very easy, so the original mechanism is kept.

Just ordered the button and ring only. Hopefully arrives before the weekend. Will let everyone know how the install goes. If all goes as planned all gold rings will be gone asap. My dockmate has an 06 with all brushed nickel hardware throughout the cabin. Looks very modern.
