Our American-made rubber latches are tough as nails. Tear-resistant to 170 pounds, these heavy-duty cantilever latches are designed to take a beating. Accidents happen but fortunately we have replacement parts.
These latches are for GEN1 Coolers produced from 2012 through 2017. How do you tell the difference? GEN1 Coolers have "Made in USA" stamped on the front of the coolers and off to the side.
Pins are included for easy installation in the following:
2 Latches Included - 25 QT, 50 QT, 75 QT and 100 QT Bison Coolers
3 Latches Included - 150 QT Bison Cooler
MOST ASKED QUESTIONS
Where are the Cups made?
We are proud to make our Hard coolers and Soft coolers in the USA
Our Drinkware is imported, but in fact ALLstainless steal, double walled, vacuum sealed drinkware from all brands are imported. So there is no such thing as a USA tumbler it doesn'texist.
*We do go the extra mile by printing, assembling and finishing the drinkware in our Ft Worth Texas facility and because of that we are able to hire more workers here in Texas to work that process.
Why all Tumblers are Not Made in The USA?
1. The raw material of stainless steel. China has the biggest production output for stainless steel material so that they have the most competitive cost.
2. Lack of skill manufacturing engineer and workers. The stainless steel manufacturing production relies on a lot of workers and experienced engineers. Although automation equipment can replace workers but it needs big investment at the beginning and big volume order quantities to support the constant production.
3. Strict environment policy. The stainless steel tumbler is reusable, environmental- and eco-friendly. But the manufacturing process related to plating, electrolysis, polishing and painting all have pollution, which is not accepted in the USA.
In short, there can be no stainless steel tumblers made in the United States because
- labor
- cost
- efficiency
- environment factors.
This is why all Tumblers are made in other countries except the United States.
Care Instructions?

- KKKevin K.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 starsYesterdayReplacement Latches
The replacements seem to be of a quality material as were the originals. My originals are still good, I just wanted some spares around since I have 3 of the Bison Coolers.
- JWJames W.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars3 months agoOverhaul
I liked the new style of the retainer pins which will be easier to remove than the old style for certain. I also replaced my lid seal as well as the 4 non-skid rubber feet. I feel like I have a brand new cooler which is now 12 years old. I appreciate the quick filling of my order as well as the flat rate of $7 for shipping
- CWCHARLES W.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars6 months agoNew Latches (GEN1)
They worked out. A little complicated to install but worth the effort. Now I am going to get me a new gasket.

Latches came quickly but I'm not sure I can get them on..........cannot figure out how to get tiny rod out and install new rod. Not a big deal. My son cam make it happen.
Service was great and my cooler has been with me for 10 plus years. Great product.
