Can't say I have noticed any problem with sliding the door, but then again I have not owned the boat for that long, and not had it on the water yet. The lakes are still frozen here.

Hi 300sflyer, thanks for the pictures!

As for the sticking sliding door, can you or ChicagoWeb tell me if the door slides in a track of some kind and if it does, is the track metal or plastic and is it lined with some kind of felt? Sorry again for all the questions but if it's what I think it is, I might just have an old fashion remedy for you ChicagoWeb... maybe...


Lastly, rssniff, do you still have this black plastic piece on your door or is it missing too? If you can post a picture of this same area of your door, that would help too.



Thanks,
WetWilly

Willy,

Both the top and bottom tracks look to be anodized aluminum. [black] There is no felt or anything similar in mine.

Hi guys,

Well I think I have some great news for rssniff and ChicagoWeb and any other members with the same lock!

I believe I found a near identical replacement in San Francisco right down to the striker/locking plate, take a look at this description and photo:



Compare the measurements to insure it matches your lock and/or mounting hole, It comes in a dull chrome finish and includes two keys and the locking plate.

The cost per lock is $24.62 plus what ever it cost me to ship it to you.

If your interested send me a PM. (click here)

I'm trying to find the manufacturer to see if there are distributors throughout the US that other members can contact locally for this lock, I'll post what I find out.

WetWilly -

Thanks for the info! I wont be back down to the Marina until mid-April. At that point I will check it out and let you know. My sliding door is bascially this...

There are (2) sets of rectangular boxes on a track the (2) on the top you screw into, and the ones on the bottom you put a peg into the hole. It is a real pain in the @ss to get the door back on the sliders if you take it off. I have to use a lot of lubricant to make the door slide easily, but it does work. As for the lock it looks very similar but I will have to measure to make sure.

Good find!

Wet Willy - Thanks for getting me motivated! I found the lock online and just purchased it.

This is the lock for the cuddy cabin door on the Mariah Talari. It is the Black/Smoke door that slides and locks.

Good luck!

So, the lock fits... But the actual piece that extends out from the lock is a solid circle instead of the (2) half moons top to bottom. So, I just drilled it out to a circle and it works like a champ.

Hi ChicagoWeb,

That's what I figured... the only issue with your new lock is someone can pull the Plexi door away from the frame, disengage the pin and slid it open. The one I located is the same as the original in that the plunger locks under the striker plate preventing the door from being pulled away from the frame.

As long at it works for you, that's all that matters and it was a cheaper than the original style.
