Expert Answers about Trailer Door Latch


  • Recommended Flush Door Latch for Wells Cargo Trailer
  • I might have an option for you but we don't offer any flush door latches with an extended striker. However, the Full Size Locking Steel Flush Door Latch part # L3980 matches your door cutout at 4-5/8" long x 3-3/8" so this is our best option. If the striker does not reach the catch plate, I recommend moving the latch closer to the end of the door. I have attached our full list of door latch options for you.

  • Trailer Door Latch Recommendation for a Trailer Door that is 1-1/2 Inches Thick
  • You would want to use a Full Size Locking Steel Flush Door Latch # L3980 on your door that is 1-1/2 inches thick. This latch can work on doors that are up to 1-1/16 inches thick and should work well for you. The Locking Stainless Steel Flush Door Latch # L1833 that you referenced can only work on doors that are up to 7/8 of an inch thick and would not work 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...

  • Trailer Door Latch Possible fit for 1998 Sundowner Horse Trailer
  • I see the door thickness picture you attached but that's the only picture that made it through. The part # 295-000019 is a standard RV style latch that can fit door thicknesses of up to 1-1/2 inches so this would work but it requires a cut out of 2-1/2" wide x 3-1/2" tall to 3" wide x 4" tall.

  • How To Find Correct Replacement Door Latch for Featherlight Horse Trailer
  • In order to find a suitable replacement latch for your horse trailer you need to remove the old latch and measure the cutout as that's then going to tell you a compatible replacement. The Bauer Products Manger Door Lock for Horse Trailers part # BA55FR is possibly a solution. It fits a cutout of 2-3/4" wide x 3-3/4" tall. It's unlikely you'll find an exact match so you may very well need to modify the opening to make a latch work. I have attached a full list of our other entry door latches...

  • Universal Cam-Door Lock Recommendation for Toy Hauler that the Door Does not Close all the Way
  • I believe I know what is happening. It sounds like your door latches are at the middle of your door which leaves the top of the door slightly open. You could use a Universal Cam-Door Lock for Enclosed Trailers # like what you referenced. I would run it across the top lip of your trailer ramp so that it will secure the top of the door as well. Depending on the setup you might consider leaving your current latches and then install a # 383200 as well. Or, you could move your current latches...

  • Replacement Door Handle and Latch for an Enclosed Cargo Trailer
  • The handle and latch we currently offer is the Universal cam-door lock # 383200 for enclosed trailers. The handles measures 13-3/4 inches long so it may be a little long for your trailer. If you don't have a pipe, you will need a 3/4-inch inner diameter one. If you need to hold your trailer doors open, you can use the Redline enclosed trailer part # PLR64-66. It will create a gap between the door and trailer of 2-5/8 inches. I included a video review for you as well.

  • Recommended Door Locks for Enclosed Trailer
  • The Atwood AMPlock Trailer Coupler Latch Lock referenced in your question is really designed for trailer couplers to help deter theft of the trailer itself. It secures the trigger latch on the coupler so it cannot be removed from the tow vehicle or secure it to a would-be thief's tow vehicle.

  • Can the Global Link Vise Lock for Cam-Action Door Latch be Keyed to an Existing Lock
  • I would love to help but there is no such thing as a rekey kit for the Global Link RV Entry Door Locking Latch Kit part # 295-000002. The only option we can offer you to receive the same lock/key on the Global Link RV Entry Door Locking Latch Kit part # 295-000002 and both the Global Link Vise Lock for Cam-Action Door Latch part # 295-000026 would be to order them all at once while selecting the keyed alike option from the drop down menu on each page before placing them in your cart.
