Hi Steve,

My last RV, a Holiday Rambler was absolutely chalked full of those push latches. I became pretty good at replacing them and even opening up the mechanism since it occasionally got in the latched position while the catch was not in place.
The guys at Newell referred to them as 5 lb and 10 lb catches. They use a 10 lb catch on the shade in the front of my salon slideout. It was broken when I bought the coach and was quite a job to get replaced, but I managed it and now I am very careful when putting that shade in the latched position. It is actually a pretty heavy ( isn't everything in a Newell ) shade and I am surprised that one catch holds it up - but so far so good. The 5 lb catch is the H315 and the 10 lb catch is the H316. I have attached a picture. Thanks for posting! Russ
