Expert Answers about GMC Trailer Door Holders


  • Recommended Replacement Trailer Door Holders For A Featherlite 5th Wheel Horse Trailer
  • To match your 1" long plunger you'll want the Plunger and Nylon Socket Door Holder # DH604. Just like with your old door holder these will hold your trailer doors open with ease by mounting one part to the door and the other to the side of your trailer. They create a 1" gap between trailer and door when in use. All metal parts are zinc plated to resist rust and corrosion.

  • What To Do If Your Entry Door Open Angle Doesn't Match Up Well To The Wall For A Door Holder
  • A shorter hook would help with the angle of the door to help get the hook into the holder for your trailer's door. An option with a 45 degree bend in it, like the part # 37211765, would give you a better option to work with the angle of the door, but you might have to change the placement of the holder to properly fit with the door. I recommend installing the hook on the door first and then holding the door up to the wall of the trailer to find the correct spot for the holder. This would...

  • Mounting Hole Spacing Of The JR Products T-Style Hook and Keeper Door Holder # 37210525
  • The mounting bracket holes can vary by manufacturer but 1" x 2-1/4" is super common. To install the T-Style Hook and Keeper Door Holder for RV or Enclosed Trailer # 37210525 you can reuse the 1" spaced holes and one set of the holes (either top or bottom) and fill in the other set and drilling out new holes to secure the new brackets. The only trailer door holder we carry with a 2-1/2" spacing is the Plunger and Socket Trailer Door Holder # PLR62-66, which only has two holes so you'd...

  • Does the Plastic Stem and Rubber Socket Door Holder Come with 3 Stem
  • I do have an option for you but the longest door plunger we offer is 2", the Plastic Stem and Rubber Socket Door Holder part # DH39R. That said, the only difference the longer plunger makes is that it will cause the trailer door to sit further away from the trailer when locked open. The above length allows for a 2-1/4" gap so as long as you don't have anything sticking off the door that would impede this you can use the 2" plunger.

  • Door Keepers For Holding Enclosed Trailer Entry Door Open at 90 Degree Or 45 Degree Angle
  • The 45-Degree T-Style Hook and Keeper Door Holder # 37211765 and 90-Degree T-Style Hook and Keeper Door Holder # 37211785 would allow you to hold your entry door open for additional ventilation. While these are stainless steel and very strong I would warn against using in very strong winds as it could damage the door or trailer skin if a strong enough gust is blowing. You can use multiple holders on the door but do remember to unhook them before trying to close or open the door. The hook...

  • Will the Plunger and Rubber Socket Door Holder PLR62-66 Work On a Motorhome
  • Yes, I don't see any reason at all as to why the Plunger and Rubber Socket Door Holder part # PLR62-66 would not work with the door on your motorhome. It is designed for an enclosed trailer door which would be much heavier than the one on your motorhome so I don't think you will have any issues.

  • Will Plastic Stem and Rubber Socket Door Holder Work on Door with 50mm Gap Between Door and Trailer
  • Fifty millimeters is approximately 2 inches which is close to the stated 2-1/4 gap created by the stem and socket door holder # DH39R. They will still line up fine. The fact that the gap you have with the door parallel is 2 inches means that the system will still work. It doesn't have to be 2-1/4 inches for this unit to work. But it will be 2-1/4 inches after it is installed.

  • Door Keeper Options for Horse Trailer with Swinging Rear Doors
  • If you have obstructions on the side of the trailer that would prevent the door from swinging all the way open then you will want to consider using either an angled door keeper like the 45-Degree T-Style Hook and Keeper Door Holder part # 37211765 or an extended one like the T-Style Hook and Keeper Door Holder for RV or Enclosed Trailer part # 37210515 for 4" or part # 37210525 for 6". In order to confirm fit you will need to measure to see how far away from the trailer the door can get...

  • Replacement Door Holder Plunger and Socket Options for a Hahn Heavy Rescue
  • The plunger must be larger than the opening on the socket in order to hold it in place. With the Pivoting Door Holder Receiver # 37210635 having an opening slightly over 1/2" and your current socket measuring slightly under a 1/2", I would have to lean towards it not working because of the size difference. In my opinion, I would replace both the plunger and the socket to ensure that they are a good fit. - Plunger and Nylon Socket Door Holder # DH604 (1" long plunger) - Plunger and Nylon...

  • Recommended Stainless Steel Door Holders With A 1 x 2-1/4 Mounting Pattern
  • The T-Style Hook and Keeper Door Holder for RV or Enclosed Trailer - 6" Hook # 37210525 and 4" # 37210515 both have a mounting pattern of 1" x 2-1/4" (seen below) so you should be good to just reuse your current mounting holes. I do recommend putting some butyl tape # AL28FJ on the bracket to help seal up those mounting holes so that water doesn't leak through.

  • Polar no longer has a 68 and the 66, # PLR66, is the standard size option so it will work well for you. If you want to replace the plungers as well we have # PLR64 which is 2-1/4 inches long and # PLR62 which is 1-3/4 inches long.

  • Can The T-Style Hook and Keeper Door Holder # 37210525 Be Mounted Horizontally?
  • Yes, you can attach the T-Style Hook and Keeper Door Holder # 37210525 horizontally. Do understand since the retainer will then be mounted sideways the weight of the hook will not hold it down and prevent coming out of the retailer.

  • Best Options for Holding Open a Motorhome Door
  • You will need a couple of inches of door frame to attach the Buyers Products 90-Degree Door Check and Hold Back item # 337BM2395AA11. If your screen door and exterior door butt up against each other and you want to mount it in-between then this will not work for you. If you are wanting to prop them both open at the same time then this will work great. You will just attach it to the top of your door frame. If you are unable to use the Door Check and Hold Back then I recommend using the...

  • How To Determine The Mounting Hardware For the Buyers Products Hook and Keeper # BP64FR
  • The fasteners needed for the Buyers Products Hook and Keeper # BP64FR are going to vary from trailer to trailer. You will need to determine if you have steel or wood framing as this mean you need either self tapping fasteners or wood screws. The mounting holes are designed for 1/4" fasteners and you will need to determine the correct length based on the thickness of the door and walls. You will be able to acquire the correct fasteners from a local hardware store.

  • Fit of Inno IN66FR Ceiling Mount Fishing Rod Holder on 2018 Honda CR-V
  • The Inno # IN66FR fishing rod holder isn't a vehicle specific item, so Inno doesn't list individual vehicle fits. This being said, you can easily take a measurement to determine if the rod holder will fit. The fishing rod holder will mount to the anchor locations used by the grab handles above the rear doors (the grab handles will be removed to install the holder, which will use the handle mounting holes to attach to the vehicle). The distance between the base of your driver's-side and...

  • Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier Recommendation For 2015 Mini Cooper 2 Door
  • I am happy to recommend a roof rack and kayak holder for the 2015 Mini Cooper 2 door. I recommend Yakima roof rack part # Y00425 for the bars, part # Y64AR for the feet and ft kit part # Y06009. This is a aerodynamic bar system that will cut down on wind noise and allow you to carry your kayaks. For the Kayaks I recommend, Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier part # Y04073 because you can carry up to 2 kayaks with one carrier compared to most J-style carriers that only allow you to carry 1 kayak....
