What's one of these called......

[Lucky]

I need a little help. I have spent the last hour searching the net for a couple of these.

They are the door lock covers which hinge upwards allowing the square peg to unlock the door - I think they are called "escutcheon's" but can't find any in white, or just off white colour.

These particular ones are 40mm wide and 50mm tall.

Here is a picture - ignore the pen sticking out, I did this just to show how it works..

I'm really stuck on this and would really appreciate it if anyone knew where I could get them preferably on the net.

An e-mail and the picture to:

info@sealine.com

might provide an answer.

Given the age of the boat, I know its a bit of a 'long shot', but always worth a try.

Good idea Dave but Sealine don't actually know what they used mate !!!

Had this problem before with parts and all they do is refer you to a Sealine Dealer. Sealine dealers don't know what the non-major parts are ! As far as I am aware there isn't one big book with all the parts used for each range of boats they produce.

For instance, I sent them an email last week enquiring about retro-fit teak floor - and they haven't got a clue !! All I wanted to know was who they used !

Is so annoying, I have seen these lock covers so many times before, and normally I can put my finger on the right internet page within a minute or two for anything we are trying to find, well, at least Claire can ! lol ! but not this time.....

Is it something that appears more in the caravan world perhaps?

[Lucky]

Great minds think alike !!

Since posting the original request thats where I have been searching - still with no luck !

Hi Luke,

Give Nick a ring at Seabridge marine.

Have never seen him stumped on a sealine part yet.

Have a look at this.

I know it isn't plastic, but they could do what you are looking for.

the main site,

http://www.seaglaze.co.uk/spares/locks_and_keys

I got them by doing search on googlethingy,

hope they help

[Lucky]

Thanks for your help donnygeoff, but I really am after a driect replacement. Where they are situated means they can't stick out any further than the originals as they will be caught.

However, what a brilliant site you have found. I have bookmarked it for future reference !! Thank you !!

Senator - I am already in contact with Nick at Seabridge over a couple of other things, so I will add it onto the list and see if he comes up with anything !! Thank you too !!

I completely forgot how much hard work (and money) it costs to bring a boat back to 'near' perfect, we are well on course now and she is looking rather good - just a few more bits and bobs to make her truely ours !!

[Lucky]

Just a quick update. As shown above these items ARE available in Black, but for the life of me I can't find them in WHITE !!!

So, if any of you kind ladies and gentlemen happen to spot them out on your travels, please let me know !! I need at least five !!!

The search continues !!

[Antares_9]

Better get eight or ten then Luke for when more break

I'll be sure to keep an eye out, LIBS in Jan and they often have stalls with all sorts of bits of kit on.

[Lucky]

Very good point !! Actually get 20 or 30 and put some on eBay. I know Sealine used these for a number of years, and of course they are water-proof, but they do tend to go off colour and look very grubby.

We have tried scrubbing them, even putting them in the dishwasher to no avail !!

[Jupes]

Same as Senator, we use Nick at Seabridge. We think he may be away at the moment as we have emailed him for something and he hasn't got back to Adam yet, which is very unusual.

[Lucky]

Exactly the same for me Suzanne (Great meeting you the other day by the way !!)

Nick seems to come with some great recommendations, but unfortunetly as yet he hasn't found anything that I've been looking for. When I emailed him sometime ago about teak decking, he said he would look into it - never heard any more and I emailed him the other day about something and still no reply.

I also need to replace the Sealine metal logos on either side, so perhaps I'll try again....
