Expert Answers about Chevrolet Trailer Door Holders


  • Is it Better To Have a Plastic Or Steel Keeper Door Holder?
  • While the steel T-Style Hook and Keeper Door Holder # 37210525 is stronger and won't pop off or break as easily as the plastic T-Style Hook and Keeper Door Holder # 37210444, you do stand a better chance of damaging your door and trailer with the steel door holder. The plastic will break away easily preventing damage to your trailer where the steel is more likely to either rip the screws out of the trailer or damage the door by bending it on the hinges. I prefer to use the Hook and Keeper...

  • Can You Use Tape To Attach Bumper Style Door Holders To Glass Entry Doors
  • Since the bumper on the Low-Profile Bumper Door Holder for RV or Enclosed Trailer # 37210665 is going to pop into the holder and require you to pull the two apart using other means to hold them to your glass door will most likely not be enough to hold it. Instead I recommend using the T-Style Hook and Keeper Door Holder for RV or Enclosed Trailer # 37210324 so you can use some tape like # 344270341411-1, or any other brand you trust. This style door holder won't require you to pull the...

  • Plunger and Rubber Socket Door Holder Vs. T-Style Hook and Keeper Door Holder
  • I understand your concern with pulling on the doors to release from the holder and possibly damaging the smaller lightweight doors of a teardrop style camper. Perhaps using a hook and keeper type would be a better option, please see link. These come in varying lengths, finishes and type of material. I like the Flat T-Style Hook and Keeper in Stainless Steel, # 37210615. There is also a durable plastic construction available in Polar White, # 37210414 or in black, # 37210324.

  • Door Retainer Stronger Than Rubber Door Retainer
  • Thanks for the photo, and the best option for a door retainer that is stronger than a rubber door retainer is the plunger and socket style, which are more heavy duty and will allow your door to stay open while the wind blows. This style has gotten really good reviews from our customers who have used them, including their use on horse trailers. You just need to find the one with the correct length for your trailer. - Plunger and Rubber Socket Door Holder - 1-3/4" Long Plunger # PLR62-66 -...

  • Will Plunger and Rubber Socket Door Holder # PLR64-66 Hold Better than Magnetic Setup
  • If you swung the door hard enough you'd get the plunger of the # PLR64-66 to stick in the rubber end and hold it there better than the magnetic setup. You would also be able to reach out and pull the door to disengage the holder as well once you've opened the screen door.

  • Holding Trailer Doors Open Using Plungers or Hook and Keeper Holders
  • Regarding the man door and the awning, is there any way that you can attach the plunger style holder, # DH605, to the support are for the awning that is causing the interference? Otherwise, you could use something like the hook and keeper, # 383400. If they were placed near the door hinges you could probably configure it to hold the door open where it will not interfere or shut. The same thing for the rear barn doors. The stress on the door keepers would be greater the closer they are...

  • Recommended Trailer Door Keepers for Horse Trailer Main and Tack Room Door
  • Since you have some obstructions on the side of the trailer preventing the main door from swinging all the way open you'll need to use an angled door keeper like the 45-Degree T-Style Hook and Keeper Door Holder part # 37211765. Then for the tack room you should be able to get away with just a standard keeper like the T-Style Hook and Keeper Door Holder for Trailer Rear or Side Door part # PLR9-SS. I have attached a full list of options below as well if you don't think the above will work...

  • Recommended Door Holder for Fender Mounting
  • The Plastic Stem and Rubber Socket Door Holder - 2" Long Stem # DH39R can be installed onto your fender if desired to allow your door to be secured open. You can alternatively use a Hook and Keeper for Enclosed Trailer Door # 383400 in another location like mounted to the fender to give you a similar option. There is not an option we carry that is long enough to allow connection to the main trailer wall when the fender is making contact with the door.

  • Trailer Door Holder that Wont Accidently Release the Door
  • I do not have a way to test how much force it takes to pull the rubber stem from the socket # DH39R (no force gauge available) but having used this type of door keep before I can tell you that it usually takes a good jerk to free it up. When you want to be positive that the door is going to stay open I recommend using a hook and keeper such as # 383400. I have linked a video review for you.

  • Recommended Door Latch For Passive Door On Interstate Cargo Trailer
  • For the passive door, you can add the Cam-Action Lockable Door Latch Kit w/ Narrow Hasp for Small Enclosed Trailers - Zinc-Plated Steel # 383200 to keep that side door locked while the other is open. This will keep your door from catching the wind and opening. Another option I recommend is for the interior of the door using the Bolt-On Zinc Spring Latch # SL716 on the top and bottom of the door like pins in a traditional french door except on the interior. If you want to hold the other...

  • Ways To Keep Entry Door On Keystone Outback Travel Trailer From Slamming Open & Closed due to Wind
  • The Replacement Controlled Motion Hinge # LC95VR will still allow the door to move but it will be more restricted in its movement. The hinge adds friction to the door so you are able to open it and leave it in different positions without moving in light winds or due to being on a hill. A strong enough wind will allow the door to move but it will not slam like you are used to having. A Door Holder # 37211785 will allow you to latch the door at a 90 degree angle and prevent it from slamming...

  • Recommended Rock Guard And Door Keeper For An Eagle Cargo Trailer
  • For a stone guard we do have the # 337STG1210 which is a 10" x 12" aluminum diamond tread plate. This is really the only rock guard we carry here, and we do not have a direct replacement for the factory rock guard. The door keepers are basically universal. The Buyers # BP64FR that you were looking at is a great choice. We also have the # 337DH5006SS which is a stainless steel hook and keeper. We have installed door keepers like this on trailers very similar to your Eagle cargo trailer. I...
