Tape it shut for now then :-) before you need a new door.

Im pretty sure you can take off the catch bit on the inside and just replace it with a bit or thin wood / metal

What was involved in fitting this latch? I see it has some kind of metal ring, does it need a special tool to fasten in place?

I gave a call to my gas supplier and it was replaced free of charge within a few days!
It was Atlantic by the way.

As far as I can see from mine -

Poke the barrel through the hole in the door from the outside.

Screw the metal nut up the barrel until it's tight.

Screw, or push on, the latch/cam onto the barrel.
