Not all projects have to be yuge. This was a small but satisfying. I had the second of my three door latches break, so it was time to address them. Luckily the Perko rim latches are still available. I was able to get the, from Defender.com
The new latches are a direct replacement and virtually identical.
It’s a very simple one set screw, two screws on one side and 4 on the other. My doors now shut silky smooth and don’t rattle in their strikers.

This is how both of my latches failed
