  • Interior door hardware, liberty coach

    Posted by Chas on November 28, 2016 at 5:43 pm

    Anyone know where to get this kind of door knob/latch setup? It’s out of a interior door in a 98 liberty. Chrome. I am assuming it’s a yatch hardware source. Internal parts are broken so need replacement.

    I just emailed Charles the email exchange I had with Perko. They stood behind their product and fixed mine for no charge.

    I replaced my latch set (different handle) a while back and it was a Perko brand. Found the part at a local West Marine store. It may be an option for you should you’re dealings with the Perko company does not resolve your issue.

    Dick provided me with a contact at Perko as well as part numbers for the overall latch set and the cam/bevel set. The latch set is available from West Marine for $100 while the cam/bevel is available for $200. Since the bevel is what is broken on mine, I went with the $200 repair/part. Should be here in a couple days.

    Basically on the bevel, one of the ears that the cam push/pulls broke off, making the cam skip or get locked up some times. This added the possibility of getting “locked” in the head. Not fun if no one is around I am sure.

    Here is a link to the full latch set

    And here is a link to the cam/bevel parts

    The picture for the Cam/bevel on WM’s site shows the overall latch set. Here is the actual part that should be coming. As you can see the bevel has two ears, one broke off.

    That does look like a Perko door piece of hardware. West Marine is one source, but if you can get part Perko part numbers and are worried at all on cost, shop around. The internet search may save a few dollars. Below is one potential supplier.

    West is probably the best full service provider. Not much issue with returns if unsuitable. But others offer the same for less with not always the same customer service.

    Got the part from WM. The bevel works great with the old cam (which is fine, since it was the bevel that failed on me). However the new bevel with the new cam doesn’t work. Looking at the new cam VS the old cam, you can tell the new cam is much cheaper (cheaper metal and less materials in some areas).
