That's dirt cheap, Kev, relatively speaking. The equivalent kit for the Dometic 9435 fridge handle was £130.86 [pence figure maybe slightly wrong ...], in May 2023, and I think that prices have increased a fair bit since then! That's why I salvaged most of the bits and have kept my emergency external closure kit of threaded bar and R Clips for the next time that it happens ... BTW, I didn't buy the part of the fridge handle that props the door open when it's switched off [a plastic wedge between the door and the portable caravan step works ...]; this was missing when we bought Brunhilde in April 2021, and the 2023 price was around £43 IIRC; outrageously expensive for what it is/does, and still fragile quality (n)

Mine is a 6 series and the broken catch would have been £30.60, because the grey plastic "washer" split. I found that a steel washer on top of a fibre washer worked fine.

As it has never burst open when travelling I'm inclined to save the money.

That's because you were using a fridge door lock;)
I managed to bodge ours back together and I believe someone on Fun was making the plastic bits with a 3d printer.
I'm sure you'll think of a way to keep it closed...............even a hook and eye depending on location
 
I can confirm that a 3D printer version is available from a member on MHFun as I purchased one for my sisters fridge. Not expensive and a lot better than the original. I asked at the time if he was going to set up a small business but Paul said no, just happy to supply to forum members. He makes other bits and pieces also, I have a holder for lpg adapters, as well as an attachment for filling my fresh water tank - all are great quality.

Please would you post pics of both? The attachment for filling fresh water tank particularly intrigues me.
 
@Sharon the Cat - will do re the water filler cup. Van is in storage so is likely to be the weekend before I can take a picture. However please see attached the lpg adapters holder.

EDIT: found the photo of the filler adapter on the forum - not mine specifically but it gives you the idea of how they work. Small and neat just slots into the filler inlet and no more wet arms when pouring from a container! There are different designs depending on the type of filler. Mine has a lockable cap so the funnel for mine is slightly deeper as there is no flap to negotiate.408BCCE3-3565-410A-BE21-4761A9FFFC20.png
