Have had the very same problem with ALL the Plastic Latches. I changed all plastic latches over to this metal variety. THEY WILL NEVER BREAK or POP OPEN.

Hooked Loop — A Pefect Latch for an Imperfect World
Spring-tensioned hooked loop catches are designed to engage a molded cover lip or flange and will compensate for uneven cover alignment and provide constant tension. Long loops offer a long reach. Holding power is adjustable on mounting, with the distance between catch and cover determining closed tension. Hooked loop catches can be ordered in a wide range of sizes, finishes, with or without mounting holes, and in stainless steel, too. Styles cover all duty ranges.
