2 x Brabantia bin catch replacement 20 30 40 45 50 litre touch bin by

Easy to fit and works as good as the original. These small items will save you buying a new bin.

These are great. I’ve had my Brabantia bin since 2007. It’s use LOADS because it’s the kitchen bin. Last year after years of use, the lid stopped latching properly. It started to take three or four attempts to close the lid. Initially I simply pulled the catch out (it pops out very easily if you push from the back with a flat blade knife or screwdriver). I the flipped the catch and put it back in, which worked great for about 8 months, but eventually it started to not latch again. I bought 2 of these catchers to fix it properly. I fully expected the first to break because all the other reviews claim they broke the 1st one. Mine however worked perfectly 1st time - maybe because it previously removed and flipped the old latch? Anyway, this is months later and it’s still working perfectly and I still have the second latch as a spare too. So if you’re careful and watch what you’re doing, there’s no reason I can see that one of the latches will break. If your bin still wont catch when you’ve replaced the spring latch, it could be that the plastic peg, the bit that sticks out, has worn. It had a little “hat” on it, like a ridge, and when this wears down, which it will at some point, you need to replace that peg. There is another seller who has these pegs - I’ve not needed one yet, but they look dead easy to fit. You just snap the old one off and slide the replacement on top of where it was. I see no reason or wouldn’t work perfectly. So it seems you can keep your Brabantia bin going forever if you can be bothered. You can buy a new lid from the manufacturer, but it’s £40+ I think. Why would you bother when you can fix it so easily with these? I can’t recommend them enough. They are very good.

these haven’t lasted long (ones already clean broken). otherwise they do the job 👍

I’ve had my Brabantia large soft touch bin for a good few years now and it’s been an excellent kitchen bin. However, the catch mechanism claws snapped off.. so obviously the bin lid would not stay down. Brabantia web site will offer you a new bin lid at a cost of around £40+ bit annoying right? So came onto trusty Amazon and sure enough, found the exact same claw mechanism. There’s a slot either side, so two small flat blade screw drivers will push little lugs in, using your finger nails at the same time to remove the broken claw mechanism.. it then pulls out. The new claw mechanism pushes straight in and fits perfectly… obviously compare the new one with the old… But that’s a win… literally three seconds to fit… and hey ho… the lid closure catch is fixed and perfect… Super cheap fix and very easy…

Easy to fit and the lid closes properly abiding the need to buy a new bin!

Does not fit bin. Maybe because it's an older style? Would be useful if sizes were added to description

It's not immediately obvious how to get the old catches out of the bin lid, so landed up cracking them up with a pair of pliers and taking out from the back. Once removed the new catches slot in from the front very easily. Experience with the new catches is a bit patchy. They seem to stick slightly (despite a dose of WD40) so that the bin lid doesn't always stay shut. You can fiddle them with your finger and they release and work for a while then stick again. Bizarrely I found that if I always shut the bin lid with my finger on the right hand side of the centre it always works … hmm … something to do with alignment. The bin is about 12 years old so may have to bite the bullet and buy a new complete lid assembly or even new bin complete. I guess for the price it is worth giving these catches a go to see if they work for you. I did buy a pack of two so may try putting the other one in.

this was a great fit .......once I had removed the old catch should have brought this a year or so ago . still you live and learn. shame the amazon driver left the package dangling out of the letterbox
