I recreated the original Nylon door bolt when one of them broke and I could not find it anywhere on Amazon or Home Depot. I printed mine in PETG but perhaps it would be better to print in Nylon if door is exposed to sun / heat.
Print Instructions
- Print 1x Main and 1x Lip.
- Use some pliers to push the lip and main together as shown in the photos. If the the lip is loose, simply apply some glue. This part helps stop the bolt from slipping and does not impact strength.

- Layer Height: 0.2 or higher
- Perimeters / Wall loops: 10
