Phantom 2.0 Folding Mechanism Latch — Fit Issue and Fix
Last updated November 9, 2026
A replacement folding mechanism latch that seems not to fit a Phantom 2.0 or an Apollo Pro almost always has its two small black screws tightened too much, which compresses the latch opening. The latches are the same for both models and do fit: loosen the two screws, tap the latch into place, then retighten.
Steps
Loosen the two small black screws slightly to take the tension off the latch.
Align the latch with the hinge opening.
If needed, tap it gently into place with a small plastic or rubber mallet (or a wooden dowel and a light tap) until it seats fully.
Once it is seated, tighten the two black screws evenly and securely, just enough to hold the latch without compressing the opening. Do not overtighten.
Still not fitting
If the latch still will not fit or does not work properly, the rider should contact support with:
