Aging floppy drives common in older "retro" computers, e.g. the TRS-80 series, commonly fail due to cracks/breakage in the plastic pivot on the backside of the floppy door, which connects the door/latch to the internal arm that clamps down on the floppy disk surface. This part is critical because it's the only thing resisting the rather strong spring tension that pushes the arm open, and all of that force rests on two very tiny nylon pins.

This is a replacement part modeled from the original
