How to Replace the Drawer Latch on Your OGO™ ORIGIN Compost Toilet

Sometimes the drawer latch gets damaged in shipping and may need to be replaced. Please contact customer care at sales@ogotoilet.com if you need assistance.

Tools You’ll Need

  • 5/64" Allen wrench

  • 5/16" wrench or socket for the lock nut

  • A replacement latch ( Contact Us )



Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Remove the Old Latch

  • Use the 5/64" Allen wrench to loosen the bolt from the front of the latch.

  • Hold the lock nut on the back with your 5/16" wrench while you unscrew.

  • Once the bolt is out, remove the latch and set the hardware aside (or discard if you’re replacing both latch and hardware).

2. Install the New Latch

  • Align the new latch with the existing hole in the drawer face.

  • Reinsert the bolt through the latch and secure it with the 5/16" lock nut on the back.

  • Tighten until snug—but don’t overtighten. The latch should be secure but still able to move freely when operated.

Pro Tip: A little tight is better than too loose, but if it’s too tight to move, back it off just a touch.
