Bathroom Door Latch

This damned thing will surely be revised soon. The grapevine says that this was a last minute addition to the Revel in late September 2017 after some early beta testing. It does a good thing, which is to keep the bathroom door from vibrating, but it is easily loosened, and requires frequent tightening and adjustment — in our experience, about every 3 days. I’m not a mechanical engineer, but it seems over-engineered to me, and could/should be done more simply, with fewer moving parts.

The key is to not over-tighten it by turning the black knob past its maximum point. (You have to operate it by feel.) To fix it, you need to keep adjusting the nut nearest the door.
