Expert Answers about Trailer Door Holders


  • Door Holder For Trailer Entrance Door
  • I'm not 100 percent sure what you mean by "cylinder" though we do have some door holders for your trailer's entrance door. These partss are add-ons, however, as opposed to replacement parts: - C-Clip Door Holder - Polar White: 3" # 37210204 or 5-1/2" # 37210374 - C-Clip Door Holder - Zinc Plated Steel: 3" # 37210535 - Plunger and Nylon Socket Door Holder: 1" Long Plunger # DH604 or 3" Long Plunger # DH605 I have added links to video reviews for you to check out as well.

  • Can You Stack The Bauer Products Magnetic Door Holder for Trailer Compartment Doors
  • I follow your intent of stacking for purpose of spacing, but suggest you attempt to source something from local hardware store instead of stacking this item to gain the needed height. Yes, this magnets polarity will allow the Bauer Products Magnetic Door Holder for Trailer Compartment Doors, # BA98VR to be stacked, but the face side is not a uniform flat surface.

  • Changing a Trailer Ramp Door To Barn Doors On A 6x14 V-Nose Enclosed Trailer
  • To create barn doors out of your ramp door, you will need hinges and a latch. I suggest a latch/lock system like the Universal Cam-Door Lock for Enclosed Trailers - 1" Keeper, # 383200. This will use a 3/4 inch diameter pipe that you'll have to get at a local hardware store, but the bridge-type keeper prevents accidental opening and ensures safe locking action. It will also allow you to use a separate lock like # ML1KA to secure your cargo. We will also need hinges similar to Strap...

  • How To Measure Wheel Bolt Pattern To Choose Spare Tire Carrier For Pontoon Boat Trailer
  • In order to find the right spare tire holder for your pontoon boat trailer you can take a measurement of the bolt pattern.

  • Do Cargo Carriers Need To Be Registered Like a Trailer
  • The Flint Hill Goods # FHG69ZR Cargo Carrier isn't a trailer. Rather than being towed behind the vehicle, the carrier attaches to the 2-inch trailer hitch. The carrier doesn't have wheels or a VIN number, so it doesn't meet the legal definition of a trailer. However, there are two possible legal ramifications of using a cargo carrier. 1) If the carrier or the items placed on it blocks the taillights, you'll want to install a light kit on the carrier. We offer an LED lamp kit as part...

  • Tightening a Loose Hitch Ball on Diversi-Tech Self-Locking Adjustable Ball Mount # DTALBM6625-2S
  • I spoke with my contact at Diversi-Tech regarding the hitch ball coming loose on the Self-Locking, Adjustable, Aluminum Ball Mount, # DTALBM6625-2S. He said that they most often see something like this happen when the hitch has been overloaded. You will want to make sure to abide by the 10,000 pound towing capacity of the ball mount. Ensuring that the 10,000 pound weight rating is not exceeded should prevent this issue from happening again. In order to tighten the hitch ball, you will...

  • Measuring Enclosed Trailer Ramp Door Weight For Torsion Spring Lift Assist
  • To determine the correct weight springs you will need a scale to determine how much weight is on the door when it lays out on the ground. You will place the scale on the ground in the center of the landing path of the door edge. This will tell you how much of the door weight is on the ground when fully open. Be sure not to go with a spring that is rated for more weight than your door or you might run into issues of the door trying to close after you lower it. You do not want to use the...

  • Are There Left and Right Hand Entry Door Locks
  • To answer your question, there are not left and right hand opening door latches. Something like the Global Link RV Entry Door Locking Latch Kit # 295-000019 can be used on doors with either left-hand or right-hand side hinges by turning the latch kit upside down. Most entry doors are hinged on the right side, but it looks like you have the rare door that is hinged on the left side. While this is understandably awkward, there isn't a latch kit that will turn the same way as a door that is...

  • How to Calculate the Weight of the Ramp to Make Sure Door Spring is Correct
  • To test the weight of your ramp door, you will want to get the door all the way down to the ground and then on a scale of some kind (a bathroom scale can be used for this if it's the only thing available). This will be when the door is at its heaviest point. As long as this weight is 230 pounds or less, the TRC Conventional Ramp Door Spring for 8' Wide Enclosed Trailer # 362SA8HD will be a great option and will definitely make lifting the ramp significantly easier. With that being said,...

  • Hook and Keeper for Large Door On Horse Trailer
  • The Buyer's Products # BP64FR Hook and Keeper would be a great choice for keeping a horse trailer door open, and depending on the size and weight of the door and the strength of the wind, you could even use two of them if need be. The hook and keeper is very durable, and is constructed of zinc plated aluminum, which means it will be very resistant to corrosion. If you click the provided link, you can see a product description video featuring this item.

  • Hand Rail Hitting the Bauer Products European Style Entry Door Latch
  • That isn't a complaint that I have heard a lot of concerning the Bauer Products European Style RV Entry Door Lock # BA38AR. Finding a replacement hand rail could be a solution. I'm not sure what travel trailer you have or what hand rail set-up you are currently using but something like the Stromberg Carlson Folding Handrail # AC-300 may work. I have included a picture that makes it look like the door latch will be in the opening of the hand rail when folded. If this does not look like...

  • Will Having The EcoHitch Front Trailer Hitch Receiver On a 2022 Ford F-250 Affect Engine Cooling?
  • The EcoHitch Hidden Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7904 will not have an affect on the cooling for your 2022 Ford F-250. With the main cross bar hidden behind the factory fascia the only part which restricts air flow to the radiators and coolers is the 2" receiver portion. This does not restrict the air enough for you to see a difference in temperatures on your truck. Also if you already have a front license plate on your truck this is the same area the plate sits so there is...

  • Double-Sided Lock Options To Prevent Kids From Opening An Exterior RV Door
  • A double-sided deadbolt lock like the Valterra Deadbolt Lock for RVs or Mobile Homes # L32CS3208 is going to be the option that we currently offer to secure the door how you want to, but the reason the current lock is able to open from the inside without the key is for safety in the event of a fire. If you have a removable window in that area to escape then you'd still be fine.

  • Keyed Alike Entry Door Locks For an RV and Bluetooth Brake Controller For a 2023 Acura RDX
  • If you are wanting all 3 of the Bauer Products Camper Door Locks # BA54FR to be keyed the same, you will need to purchase 3 of them and select the keyed alike option. This is the only way that we can guarantee that they are all keyed the same. It sounds like you are wanting to use a Bluetooth brake controller because your 2023 Acura RDX does not have a 7-way. But, even the Bluetooth brake controllers like the Curt Echo Wireless Brake Controller # C51180 still require a 7-way on your RDX. Since...

  • Replacement Locking Door Latch For Kiefer Built Horse Trailer.
  • I have a solution for you. I recommend the Bauer Products Door Lock for Horse and Utility Trailers - Matte Black - Die Cast Zinc # BA93FR. It is very rigid and sturdy weighing in at 3 pounds. If you want a lighter version go with the Bauer Products Door Lock for Horse and Utility Trailers - Matte Black - Glass Filled Nylon # BA63FR. This model is not as sturdy as the die cast zinc but it can still take a beating. Both units have the same cut out specs and reqs. 3-11/16" wide x 4-1/2"...
