Now that I've put in the new pedestal latch, I'm never using the pedestal drawers again. I've moved all my laundry supplies to baskets on the counter, because I read reports from others that these latches break all the time and I don't relish replacing a $55 part every year or so. However, I'm grateful to PartSelect for having the part, providing instructions, and shipping in a timely manner.

I slid the unit out from the wall. I tilted it back against the wall to access the latch. I blocked the drawer open and used a phillips screwdriver to remove and replace the latch.
