We didn’t design this model. It’s a community file from its original creator, and now and then a file has a fault that only shows up when we print it, such as walls that are too thin or parts that don’t join properly. If that happens we’ll let you know and try to fix the file, which can add a day or two. If we can’t get a good print from it, we’ll refund you in full.

Please check the model files include everything you need before ordering. We print the files as published by the creator, so you receive the parts in the model, not necessarily a finished assembly shown in any photos. These are community designs by their original creators; we manufacture and post them but cannot guarantee fitment for your specific appliance or use case - check the original design page for compatibility.

About this print

A small door retaining catch designed to hold cabinet doors, gates, or similar panels in a closed position. It uses a snap clip action to engage and release, and can be fitted to a range of lightweight doors and lids where a gentle but reliable hold is needed. The latch suits both interior cabinet doors and light external gates. PETG is a practical choice for this functional part, offering good layer adhesion and the flexibility the snap mechanism requires.

Original maker's notes

By ZacSimmo on Thingiverse · CC-BY

A smaller version of my other latch, has a softer snap action and is generally smaller. Print in place, no supports needed. Update 14/01/2021: Removed some material from the female side clip, it is now a little more snappy without being too strong. Update 05/02/2021: Please orientate the part so it prints flat on the print bed, this is important as it plays to the strength on printer layers instead of against them.

Printing Door Retaining Catch

For Door Retaining Catch we would normally reach for PETG — it is tougher and more heat-resistant than PLA, ideal for parts that take load or live somewhere warm. We set the layer height, wall count, infill and supports to suit the model and how you will use it, and those choices are already priced into your instant quote. Want a specific colour or material? Tell us and we will match it where we can.
