How to replace Raven automatic door seal cam?

Hello,

I have an Raven RP3 (or similar) automatic door seal and the cam has broken. It's the old style from this image. Am I able to replace this piece alone? If not, what would be a decent alternative just so the seal pushes into place when the door closes?

 

Thanks!

Hi @Kalliste,

 

The best next step would be to head into your local Bunnings store and speak with the Special Orders team. They can pass your details on to our Spare Parts team, who will get in touch to help arrange the correct replacement parts for your Raven RP3 seal.

 

In the meantime, if you're able to share some clear images showing how the cam interacts with the seal, our helpful members might be able to suggest some creative alternative fixes that could tide you over or even solve the issue outright. 

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks Mitchell. I didn't know about the spare parts team.

 

Currently, it's pretty much a screw which doesn't push the seal back. Images with and without cam. Cam is just hanging there. It does work until it falls off. Would it be possible to glue it?

One of these Surface Gard 22mm Black Round Rubber Bumpers looks like it might do the job @Kalliste. You might need to adjust the screw hole position slightly to ensure the bumper activates the seal properly.

I finally got a chance to buy the bumpers and so far it's working! Not sure how long the adhesive will last, but I can always glue and screw it if needed.

Looks great @Kalliste! Well done.

 

I'd put a screw in it now if everything lined up and functioned correctly. The adhesive is likely to last only briefly, and the screw will be a permanent fix.

 

Many thanks for the update.

I mostly didn't screw it in because I was lazy :laugh: But, I have done this now at your suggestion! Thanks again for your help.
