[A/S] Primary door latch bolt fell off



Esteemed Listees, and you too Patty.

Has anyone had experience with retrieving the nut and reinstalling the 
thing?

After pulling the trim strip and finding that the inner skin is riveted to 
the door frame, it seems evident to me that a hole must be cut in the inner 
skin, and a new nut used.  The missing nut was not captured, thus must be 
languishing at floor level.

Now I know why there's a secondary lock...;)  This is probably a regular 
occurance.

The trailer is a 2003 28' SO.  Still under warranty...

Thanks for any thoughts on this matter.
