# 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

- 5/16" 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.
#### Done and Ready
Just like that, your OGO™ ORIGIN drawer latch is as good as new—solid, functional, and ready to lock in your composting confidence.
