One Hand TT Storage Latch

Whenever I want to put something in a storage locker on the TT, the latch that holds lhe door open requires two hands and I have to put something down to latch the door open. Well, no more - I've converted the latch to a one handed operation. All it takes is a tiny rare earth magnet, a small piece of steel and a little glue. I used airplane glue ( Seal All) but 5 min epoxy would probably been a better cosmetic choice.
Glue the magnet onto the little aluminum lift handle at the key.


Then, glue a small piece of thin steel where that magnet would contact the coach when the door is up.



And now, when you swing the storage door up, it stays without using a second hand to engage the latch!

But you can also use the original two handed latch if you're so inclined.
