I have an Igloo cooler with the plastic latch that breaks every two years or so. The metal hinge was advertised as universal fit which is not accurate. I had to open the package to install only to find it doesn't work. I won't bother with a refund. My advice is just keep buying the plastic latch because this one will NOT work.
Seems to be good. Easy to install and I hope it lasts. I hadn't noticed how poorly the original latch had been installed at the factory, very crooked. I used the original latch position but had to make a new hole for the button, as the original button had 2 screws. Keeps the cooler out of the landfill and the old Max 5 cooler has always worked great.
Well, so far I have just put them on 2 coolers and have not yet used them otherwise. I would've thought that they would've been made to adapt to the stub that was already in place but no big deal other than taping a new hole for them. Time will tell on the durability of them but I suspect that they will outlast the hinges that came with them.
Perfect fit, quality construction (upgrade from the original), aesthetically pleasing. I continue to appreciate that these parts are available directly from the manufacturer to keep my cooler running for years to come. Keeping my business. YETI, FORGETTI.
These replacement latches were an excellent upgrade to replace the broken ones on my cooler. Love the different color to give it some style and the durability of them.
