Peggy,
If you are still in need of a galley cabinet latch, I may be able to
help. I have one on the door that was removed for the microwave. I
also changed the latches to the newer twist kind and may have three
of the old latches at the boat, but I will not be there until June 11.
If you send me your address, I will be happy to send this one to you.
If you need more, I will check at the boat and send the rest if
located.
