Sliding closet mirror cracked....

[Deets]

Pulled into our camping site today and after setting up outside, went inside to the bedroom and noticed that one of the two sliding mirror closet doors snapped free from the plastic clip (broken off) and had a single crack east to west across the whole mirror. Anyone know where/how we can either get it fixed or who to call to get the mirror completely replaced? Thanks, D

A local glass shop should be able to fix it

Charlie has the best option. You could also call Keystone Customer Service and find out who made it.

When you get the door fixed put O rings between the plastic latch and the door frame and the latch wont break any more and the glass wont get broken again.

We had to replace one of the sliding glass doors and it cost $75 just for crating.

Hi

Can you give us more information?

Just where do you put the “O” rings?

The O rings go around the screws between the latch and the door frame. Don't get the screws real tight, just snug.

Thanks Charlie.
Phil get 4, 1\8 Inside diameter X 3\16 or 1\8 wall O rings and putt them just like Charlie said. They will cost you a buck or so and will take about 10 minutes to install and will work. What happens is you crack the plastic flexing it then they break. When you put the O rings in you flex the O rings instead of the plastic. As an added benefit the door is easier to open.

Define "Door Frame" please?

The door frame I referred to is the wood framing around the door opening that the latch is screwed to

Hi

Here are pictures of my closet latch.

Is it the same as yours?

The way I understand what you have posted is:

#1 Remove the screws
#2 put the “o” rings on the screws at the back of the latch this locates the “o” rings between the latch and the door jam.
#3 fasten the latch to the door jam and don’t tighten then so as to squeeze the ”o” rings flat

Is this correct?

I can't remember what my latches looked like. I own a machine shop so I made new ones out of Delrin. What you did looks right. I can't tell where you put the O rings but if you put them between the latch and the door frame you got it. It's pretty basis.
