CAM lock latch (mailbox)

Changed my mailbox lock and realised it can only work 1 direction (key will only be released at counter clockwise position) which is against the direction of the previous lock.

And there I go to do a design to clear the interference on the mailbox door to allow it to unlock the opposite direction..

I have strengthened the latch significantly such that it will be as strong as metal latch. Of course, there are always ways to break it with enough brute force, same with metal latch.

Included some washer thickness in case the alignment to the latching edge is off, mix and match to get desired position or enlarge the direction till desired the height.
