Fold Out Ironing Board

The little metal latch is out of the ironing board, and now I can not give you or remove the plank ... All photos or experience on how to get this little latch back into the board so that I can bend it?

If you can post a link to an ironing board resembling the one you mention, I'm sure someone could help you, but there are so many styles it is difficult to guess what you have there

If the lock is broken, the thing is toast
