295rl entertainment glass

[nzak]

Our entertainment glass cover between tv and fireplace won’t stay closed. Contacted Keystone and they told me to find some type of clip to help keep it closed. I told them should be a warranty issue since trailer is only 6 months old.
Anyone else having this problem?

Yep I had this issue also. The hole is bigger then the glass. The magnet isn't positioned properly. You can adjust the metal contact plate on the glass to make better contact with the magnet.

I have adjusted the magnetic contact, was wondering if a second magnetic assembly might help more.

Looking at Foldbak’s picture, it looks like the hinges are on the bottom so that the glass flips down. If that’s the case, seems a second catch could do the trick if you need more holding power.

Interesting that the glass flips up on our 2021 3231CK. It stays shut with the magnetic catch but you have to hold the glass up when accessing the space.

We also saw some newer models where the glass is eliminated.

I think I have seen that several folks on this forum have flipped the glass around from "top hinged" to "bottom hinge".

We flipped ours (Hinges on bottom) so it opens downward. It kept coming open while traveling so I put Velcro on the corners to hold it closed.

Mine is hinged from the bottom. But when traveling it would fall open. That wasn't good considering this is a front living room model and both opposing slides slide right in front of the entertainment center. Actually, when the glass door flips down, it touches the retracted slides... not good.

I did try adjusting the magnets and the metal clips on the glass. That did not work either. It kept flipping open. I finally came up with the solution in the photo below. I used a gold color and a gold colored dry wall screw. I left the swinging catch loose enough it swings freely and gravity holds it in the downward position. No problem opening the door. I've done it so much now, I don't even thing about swinging my catch to one side or the other.

I installed this in the first 2 week so ownership. It's worked good ever since. So, there's never been any desire to improve it more.
