Door catch trails

It always amazes me how quality over the years gets worse! Annoyingly couldn't get chrome push button door catches for offside cabinet only brushed! 

So went about fitting the spring loaded push button one on cupboard next to fridge. 

First off the whole thing flung apart when I opened the catch! So had to work out how to put it back together etc. It would appear that once the main catch is installed the back is held in place by it! So finally got it installed , now for the catch all lined up so fitted it to wall of cupboard, except the small screws do not resess onto the plate, and that 1 mm was was crucial to the latching of the catch! 

So I had to recess the strike plate by said mm!

Note to self :

Next time allow an extra mm when fitting the push button assembly! 🙄.

Had a reply from said company re solar panel charger side of the B2B .

It would appear if voltage is right it would turn the charger on, basically it " thinks" ignition has been turned on! Seems a bit of a fault tbh but insignificant in real terms!
