Propane tank doors will not stay closed

Last trip it was windy and while driving propane tank doors would not stay closed. I'm still under warranty but was thinking of fixing myself. Does anyone have suggestions of where I can find thumb locks with long latches that will stay in place?

Any RV parts store should have the thumb patch with different length locking tabs. Remember NON locking only.

A tip... turn the latch so that the latch bar is turned up to open and down to close.

I had to think about that but you are right, if the knobs are inverted that will help
