Print #6 Assembly

Latch Set

The most important part of LATCH assembly is to make sure that the magnets are attracting each other. The magnets should fit snugly into the magnet hole, but you may need to use the side of your pliers to press the magnets into place.

A tip for inserting the magnets is to use the side of the needle nose pliers as shown below to press the magnets into place. It is a tight fit (to prevent the magnets from getting pulled out when you open the door), so you should expect to press pretty firmly.

After making sure that the magnets are attracting each other, add the LATCH set with the cutout in the design to the DELACK DOOR FRAME as shown below.
