It is the full-height, spring-loaded latch bar that runs down the face of the door: pull the handle, the internal spring mechanism releases the actuator rod, and the door pops free. Released, the spring pulls the rod back into the catch so the door stays shut over rough roads and in a seaway instead of swinging open in transit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the part you want when the handle has cracked at the pivot, the latch no longer catches, the door rattles or drifts open while driving, or the spring has lost its return. It is a door \u003cem\u003elatch and handle\u003c\/em\u003e assembly, not a door lock cylinder, not a hinge, and not a gasket. Confirm your refrigerator's model and PNC\/product number on the data label before ordering, since Dometic uses different latch assemblies across the CRX and CR families.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM Dometic service part:\u003c\/strong\u003e refrigerator door latch \/ handle assembly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4450010427.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e black.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e molded plastic handle body with steel actuator rod.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAction:\u003c\/strong\u003e spring-loaded latch that self-returns to the closed position.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18-1\/2\" long x 2-3\/4\" wide (full-height door latch bar).\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dometic CoolMatic CRX-1080U\/F and CR-1080U\/F refrigerators.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage quantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e one latch\/handle assembly with actuator rod, foam sleeves, and mounting hardware as pictured.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Choose This Dometic Door Latch?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA CoolMatic door that will not stay closed is not a cosmetic problem. Every mile the door drifts open, the compressor fights ambient heat, the box loses temperature, and the gasket takes a set it will not recover from. Replacing the latch is a far cheaper repair than chasing a \"not cooling\" complaint that turns out to be a door that was never sealing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe trade-off is fitment precision. The 1080-size latch bar is dimensionally specific, and Dometic sells shorter grip-style handles for other CRX sizes. Match the part number, the door height, and the position of the catch before ordering rather than buying on appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x:auto;\"\u003e\n \u003ch2\u003eCompare Dometic Refrigerator Door Hardware\u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eDoor problems have several different failure points.

It is not a keyed lock cylinder.

Those cabinets typically call for a different, shorter grip-style handle. 4450010427 is the 18-1\/2\" full-height latch bar sized for the 1080 door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it come with mounting hardware?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
