The subject slam latches on our 2019 RW3951 are breaking. The handle has a weak point which breaks if there is any resistance from the locking mechanism. The latches also fill up with moisture from the outside temperature and cool cargo spaces condensing causing the latch and other metal parts to oxidize. I have to pull the "working" latches every week to dry out. Any other Owners facing this issue. Also, Keystone/Redwood is not helping in locating replacement latches. Dealers and mobile techs are just as frustrated they cannot get parts for our Redwood. Has any Owner been able to find a source for LcI latches, especially for a full-body painted Redwood?
We just had all the latches changed out while at the Rally by Bauer. There was no problem or issues with the OEM latches, just wanted all locked compartment to use the same key. Both Bauer and RV Lock should have replacements.

@mhs4771. Thanks for your comments. Glad you were able to same key your cargo doors. Unfortunately, our Redwood has the full body paint, and Crossroads did not bother to remove the latches before painting leaving a permanent outline. I did find what I thought would fit the outline (just barely), but the latch was too thin for the doors. All our slam latches are already keyed the same. According to Bauer my RV's slam latches are no longer available.
Well we do have Full Body Paint, and the Latches the Bauer Tech used are exact replacements for our old SouthCo latches.
