On my Cougar 318SAB, the plastic latch on the sliding mirrored closet door in the bedroom broke this morning. I'm not surprised. It is terribly made. The plastic part that broke is a lever that swivels slightly on plastic pins. The pins snapped and can't be glued.
While I'm waiting for 2 replacements latches I just ordered through my dealer, ($9.00 each plus shipping), I fashioned a lever using an extremely hard wood called Bubinga. It works better than the original using a heavy paper clip as the pin. It doesn't look beautiful, but it is small and not obvious
