I ordered a bunch of Sterlite 20qt gasket boxes for filament storage, and one arrived missing a latch. Luckily Steriku had already modeled a perfect replacement. However, I didn't think that printed hinge pins would last long (even the factory molded ones have a tendency to break), so I modified the model to use M5 bolts instead.
I made two versions - One simply replaces the printed pins with holes for using M5 bolts. The other changes the exterior geometry to print without supports. It's not an exact aesthetic match for the factory latches, but it's perfectly functional and easier to print.
