Thetford Locker Door Problem!

[JaniceM8888]

Hi Everyone!

New member. I have a Bailey Pegasus GT65 Verona 2016. The front exterior locker door won’t close and from what I have already researched I might have to replace it which sounds like a nightmare. In my mind the white lock cover and long vertical door catch part should just need replaced. Does anyone know if the white cover part and inner door catch can be replaced … here is a photo of the working door on other side… the door catch is the plastic long thin piece with bits jutting out ever so often (sorry bad at explaining).

Hi Janice
Without seeing it it is hard to fully understand your issue.
Is it the hinges that have failed causing the locking problem or the locking mechanism and / or the strike plate.
However plenty of spares are available from whole new doors to parts.

It’s not the hinge and I don’t think it’s the lock. What is the strike plate? The white cover has come off where the lock is. And that plastic vertical strip has broken too. The door won’t click closed. Just flaps open.

The strike plate is the bit where the lock catches onto to lock the door

Have a look on page 535 of this thetford catalogue where I think you will find an exploded diagram and parts list for the bits you need. If this is correct you will know what to order from any stockist

Hi

I think I had the same problem as you. The small round white plastic circle piece next to the label in my van had popped partially out. Door would not close properly. Pushing it in seemed to work to close it, but locking was a bit hit or miss.
My quick fix was Duck tape to keep the round piece from popping out. The door closed, and remained closed although not always locked. TBH, our van is 12 years old so I just leave that compartment empty apart from some levelling planks of wood..
