Franklin Cupboard Catch

A broken cupboard catch shouldn't sideline otherwise good Franklin equipment, and with a decent sample to work from it usually doesn't have to. We've made this style of part before and can usually print yours without drama.

Why these break

Spring tab loses tension so cupboards fly open in transit. The factory part is made from styrene-based plastic that loses its plasticisers over the years. It gets glassy, then one warm day it lets go under a load it used to handle easily.

How we reproduce them

This is a quick job on our end — we take dimensions from your old part, adjust for print tolerances, and run a small batch so you have spares for next time.

We print these in PETG. PETG has a little give in it, so it snaps into place like the original and shrugs off the knocks that shattered the old part.

As with everything in our library: whether a part can be reproduced depends on size, load, heat, material, and having a decent sample to work from. Send photos first — the assessment costs you nothing, and we'll tell you honestly if a genuine spare is the better option.
