Expert Answers about Trailer Door Latch


  • Can T-Handle Latch be Opened and Closed from Inside Trailer
  • The T-Handle Locking Stainless Steel Flush Door Latch # L4080 that you referenced does not have a handle on the inside to allow for easily opening and closing of the trailer door. If the latch was not locked and the handle was sticking out in the position to be turned, depending on the design of the door, the latch may be able to be lifted up to open the door from the inside of the trailer. This would require you to have access to the latch and enough room to get a finger under the latch...

  • How To Remove Old Door Latch From Trailer Door
  • To remove your door latch like # 295-000019, you'll need to remove the 2 screws by the strike plate on the door, and the 3 or 4 screws located on the backside of the latch. From here, you can remove the backing plate, and then push the latch out from the other side of the door. To reassemble the new latch to your door, just repeat the above steps in reverse order.

  • Determining The Correct Screen Door Latch For 2019 Keystone Cougar 34TSB Travel Trailer
  • I would be happy to help you determine the correct screen door latch for your 2019 Keystone Cougar 34TSB Travel Trailer but unfortunately we do not have a break down of the specific components your trailer uses. To determine the correct latch you will need to verify which side of the door the latch is on, and the spacing of the mounting holes in the latch. For example the Door Latch for Philips RV Screen Doors # 37211215 you were looking at is for the left hand side and has mounting holes...

  • How to Install the Global Link RV Entry Door Locking Latch Kit on a Blank Door
  • I do have some information for you that should help but unfortunately we have not yet had the chance to install the Global Link RV Entry Door Locking Latch Kit part # 295-000019 on a blank door so we do not have an install video. Basically, you will want to mark a cutout about 2-1/2" wide x 3-1/2" tall in the face of the door near the edge where you want the handle to be and then use something like a dremel to cut it out. Once the hole is made you then need to make another cutout but in...

  • Replacing a Junior Locking Steel Flush Door Latch with Inside Release
  • It depends on how the old one is attached to the door but you will likely have to pry it off. If there are no visible fasteners there wouldn't be any other way. You would have to be very careful not to damage the door in the process. When installing the new one I would put a screw in each corner which will require drilling the holes for the screws. Typically, the Junior Door Latch would install by routing or cutting out a 2-3/4 by 3-3/4 inch hole and would then either be bolted or riveted...

  • Could Slam Latch Door Handle be Installed on Door Without Latches
  • As long as you are okay with a bit of fabrication there's no reason you couldn't install the Lippert Components Slam Latch Baggage Door Handle on a trailer that didn't have them like your 2016 Keystone Passport 3320BHS. Those latches have been discontinued so I recommend the Global Link RV Baggage Door Slam Latch with Keyed Alike Option - Black - 1-3/4" Thick # 295-000078 which can be keyed alike versus the generic key of your Lippert locks to secure your cargo.

  • How to install Full Size Locking Steel Flush Door Latch on a Trailer
  • The Full Size Locking Steel Flush Door Latch # L3980 is designed to fit 1-1/16 inch thick doors and mounts in a hole that is 4-5/8 X 3-3/8 inches. If there are no screws visible, then your existing latch is likely welded on, and you will probably have to cut off it off to get started. Be sure to be cautious when removing your old latch, so you don't damage your trailer door in the process. If you're able to send some photos, I can give you a better idea about how to start removing the...

  • Choosing The Correct Left Hand/Right Hand Screen Door Latch For Your RV
  • The point of view for left hand/right hand for this door latch is from inside of your camper. The # 37211215 would be screwed into the screen door on the outside on the left side (from the inside POV) and the bevel on the strike would allow the latch to retract as it's being pushed into the closed position. When you look at the Door Latch for Amerimax RV Screen Doors - Right Hand # 37210765 the point of view is from the outside of the trailer and you can see the bevel in the handle will...

  • Can the Global Link RV Entry Door Locking Latch Kit be Used to Replace a Door With a Cam Lock
  • The Global Link RV Entry Door Locking Latch Kit with Keyed Alike Option # 295-000019 needs to be installed into a cutout that is 2-1/2" wide x 3-1/2" tall to 3" wide x 4" tall, so you'd either need to add a cutout to your door or replace it with another cam lock. We do have the Bauer Products Locking Cam Latch for Horse Trailers # BA32FR which would work for your trailer as a replacement should you just want to stick with a cam lock.

  • Furrion 4 Door RV Refrigerator # FCR14ACBQASS Latch Functionality
  • I went out to our warehouse and unboxed the Furrion RV Refrigerator - 4 Door - Stainless Steel - 14 Cu Ft # FCR14ACBQASS to check out how the latch functions. The depiction of the latch in the manual is a bit misleading. Part # 7 is showing what is inside of the door, so when you actually look at the door you just see the tip of the latch. There is a plate on the body of the fridge that has holes to catch the latch from each door. You have to push moderately harder than you normally would...

  • Does Latch Offset Need to Be Considered for Fit of Global Link RV Entry Door
  • If the door thickness and cut out size matches what the Global Link RV Entry Door Locking Latch Kit with Keyed Alike Option # 295-000021 was designed for there's no need to try and match latch offset as that will match up as well. That's not a dimension that's needed thankfully when picking out RV latches since it's basically a standard dimension. Fits doors that are 1-1/4" to 1-1/2" thick Installs into latch cutouts that are 2-1/2" wide x 3-1/2" tall to 3" wide x 4" tall

  • How to Mount Junior Door Latch # L1930
  • Typically, the Junior Door Latch would install by routing or cutting out a 2-3/4 by 3-3/4 inch hole and would then either be bolted or riveted to the door through holes that would need to be drilled in the flange around the latch. The latch is meant to be used in doors up to 3/4 inch thick. Because the latch is a universal fit item with many different mounting possibilities, the mounting holes are not pre drilled and mounting hardware is not included. If you would prefer something with...

  • Does Trailer Door Have to Set Flush with Jamb for the Lock Side-Door Assembly # 3057-55 to Install
  • You would need a spacer of some type to allow the mounting brackets of the 55" Lock Side-Door Bar Lock Assembly # 3057-55 to sit flush with the door so that it could close and latch. Otherwise the latch wouldn't get around the door.

  • Instructions for Installation of JR Products Bullet Door Latch
  • According to my contact over at JR Products, there are not specific instructions to install the Bullet Door Latch for RV Screen Door # 37210785. However, I have attached some photos that show how everything fits together that should hopefully make the process easier. The strike plate will install on the door frame across from where the door latch sits on the actual door. I've seen folks not use the pronged attachment that keeps the pull latch in place, but I do recommend using it when possible.

  • Is There a Version of the Global Link RV Entry Door Latch Kit Designed for Right Side Open Doors
  • The Global Link RV Entry Door Locking Latch Kit part # 295-000019 can be used on a left or right side swinging door. If the door opens on the right you would simply need to install the latch upside down as you can see in the attached photo. There isn't a version of this latch designed for a door that opens on the right.
