LP Access Door

This is weird, but our new Omni BT36 is missing the door latch for the LP access hatch. I've looked at different cam latches, but they all seem to be too big to fit into this small hole. The hole measures about 1/2" wide, and has an odd back to it. I'm sure it's cam-like, but I have not seen anything that would work. Can anyone take a picture of theirs?

(Yes it's covered under warranty, we haven't heard back from the dealer that is 2 hours away. We have a trip coming up in a few weeks.)

Email Thor customer service and attach pics. Explain the ghosting dealer. Thor may just ship you parts under warranty. Worth a shot.

Or get it next day from Amazon:

One of those 3 sizes should be what you need.

I bought one of these exactly, but the sizes listed are for the thickness of the door, not the width of the hole. Everything's too wide. I can't find anything that small, so I'm not sure if I'm even looking for the right thing.

Call Thor.
They'll handle this.

Alternatively;
Magnet latch.
That hole is now a finger grip.
$3

My fingers are too stubby to fit into the hole, but I like where you're going with this. Might be a good temporary fix.
