This is a door latch kit, but you may also know it as a door catch kit. It is designed for your dryer. This part helps hold the door shut on your appliance. This dryer door latch kit comes in two pieces: a door latch, and a door strike or clip. Both parts are a beige white color and made entirely of plastic. Together they are 2 inches wide, 1 inch long, and about 1 inch high. To replace the door latch kit, you will need a pair of needle-nose pliers and a number 2 Phillips screwdriver.

Door latch broken

I used my screw driver to pry the old female end of the latch from the dryer unit. I forced the new female part of the latch into the hole and bang...45 seconds later the door closed securely --like new!
