OEM replacement door striker plate for Norcold NR740 and NR751 series RV refrigerators. The fixed plate mounted on the cabinet frame that the door latch clicks into — when worn or broken the door won't stay latched. Black. Previously known as Norcold part number 635833.
The Norcold 50774 is the OEM replacement door striker plate for Norcold NR740 and NR751 series RV refrigerators — the fixed catch plate mounted on the refrigerator cabinet frame that the door latch engages with to hold the door closed. Previously known as Norcold part number 635833, this is the same direct-fit replacement under an updated part number.
When the striker plate cracks, breaks, or wears to the point where the latch no longer catches it reliably, the refrigerator door will bounce open during travel or fail to stay shut while parked. The striker plate is the fixed half of the door latching system — the door handle assembly contains the moveable latch, while the striker plate provides the catch point it clicks into. Replacing the striker plate is a common and straightforward repair. Black, sold individually.
• 1x Norcold 50774 door striker plate NR740/NR751 door handle/latch (moveable half of the door latch system): • Confirm handle assembly part number from the label inside your refrigerator — the handle and striker plate are separate parts
The door latching system has two halves: Door handle / latch assembly (on the door): The moveable component — the handle you pull and the spring-loaded latch tongue that extends from it. Striker plate / catch (on the cabinet frame — this item): The fixed plate mounted on the refrigerator body that the latch tongue clicks into when the door closes. If the door won't stay closed: inspect both halves. A worn striker plate is a common cause — the latch tongue slides over rather than catching. A broken latch assembly means the tongue itself is damaged. Sometimes both need replacement at the same time.
