    what to do... was changen cards in my cameras and went to close up the door

    and the bottom latch broke off in my hand, the mold piece that housed the metal part of the latch

    cracked, so now my camera is out and running with only one latch to keep it lockd up, i DONT want

    to take it down cause its in a prime place that i only go into infrequently, i cant see the ID on the camera

    so i am not sure but its close to a year old give or take a month, i bought all 4 of my cameras from

    tom lester and not covert... anybody have any helpful ideas..... russ

    Yep, they will help you out as they did with me for the same thing. In the meantime I used a couple of zip ties to keep it sealed until I could swap the camera out with the new one. Worked perfectly for a temporary fix.
