access panel knob replacement

[Jay VD]

OK where is the easiest place to get the knob replaced on my access panel? I went to the Weber site, and picked through the grill pictures, but there are no WSM's in there! Mine stripped out the sleeve that was forced in the plastic. I'm considering epoxying it

Jay,

I just replaced my door knob with a compression latch and it works great. No more worries about the knob getting stripped or breaking during mid-cook. Here's a link to the thread.

That happened to mine the week I bought it,I called Weber and they sent a new door.That is the only way the offer it is what I was told. I plan on doing the compression latch to my original door.

the knob is the most frustrating element of the WSM system, specially when you are in the middle of a cook and can't get the door to lock in place... I ended up making one with parts I have laying around my garage.. it can be done with the existing door, I was able to score a Cajun Bandit door
