I too had the same problem with the OEM "latch", and so I just replaced it with a large (maybe ~3" long) piece of nylon bar stock about 1/8" thick. I've posted a photo of it here somewhere. It's been like that for maybe 7-8 years, and I've not since had any problems. The OEM latch barely had enough reach in my opinion, and also sometimes had a tendency to move.

But I love your latch! If I ever have a problem again, I'll probably do the same thing.
