Hello all, I have searched the archives but maybe I didn't word my request right. I am looking for advice on the best, solid, quality entrance door latch for the sedan door on my MCI 102c3. On my other bus's, I have in the past used the standard Bargman paddle latch like a store bought RV uses, but they are built so cheap there must be something better out there. Seems like years ago there was a post about a Kenworth semi door latch? Anyone have a lead or part number or brand or any thoughts on the best way? Thanks!!!!!
The best latch I have found and used is called "the bear claw", available at most automotive outlets.>>>Dan
Here's a great piece from long ago and far away:

putting "entrance door latch " into the archive at BNO gets you a lot of good reading.
happy coaching!

Try Trimark Industries. Have one of theirs and like it. Big selection, great quality.

Did you decide what you are going to use?
thanks all for the info. I am still researching the best way to go, hope to get something this week. Just looking for something very high quality, perhaps something with a push button combination lock like the entertaineer bus's use. Anybody out there have any info on what the entertainners use?????
