Each cabinet uses a set of spring-loaded latches to hold the access door securely against the cabinet, keeping the seal tight so unfiltered air can't bypass the media filter. Over time these plastic latches crack, snap, or lose their spring tension from repeated opening and closing during filter changes, causing the door to sit loose, rattle, or fail to seal properly against the cabinet gasket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis kit includes 4 latches — enough to replace every latch on one cabinet door in a single order — manufactured to match the fit and mounting points of the original Aprilaire \"new style door\" latch design. The genuine Aprilaire 4349 was discontinued by the manufacturer in January 2022; this XPARTCO version is an aftermarket-manufactured equivalent built to keep these still-common air cleaner cabinets in service.
