  • Replacing The Dressing Room Door Latch On A 1995 Featherlite Trailer
  • I can certainly point you in the right direction. I am sorry to say that there is not a way to look up a trailer VIN to know what kind of latch you will need. The original manufacturer of the trailer may be able to provide that info. On a trailer almost 30 years old that may be a long shot though. The best way to determine what latch you will need will be to measure the thickness of the door, and the size of the latch cutout. For example the Global Link RV Entry Door Locking Latch # 295-000019...

  • Replacement Tack Room Door Latch for Horse Trailer
  • We have a few options for door latches that might be good replacements for yours. There is the Bauer Products Manger Door Lock for Horse Trailers # BA95FR. This is designed for a vertical oriented door latch. We also have a horizontal opening style. That would be more like the "Junior" Locking Stainless Steel Flush Door Latch with Inside Release # L1833. If neither of these are the style that you have, feel free to send me a picture so that I can find a fit for your trailer.

  • How to Determine Correct Door Latch
  • In order to get you the correct replacement door latch you will need to measure the mounting hole the latch fits in. For example the Full Size Locking Steel Flush Door Latch # L3980 mounts in a 3-3/8" x 4-5/8" hole on doors a maximum of 1-1/16" thick, and the "Junior" Locking Stainless Steel Flush Door Latch with Inside Release # L1833 will mount in a 2-3/4" x 3-3/4" hole and fits doors up to 7/8" thick. So you do need to know the width and length of the mounting hole as well as the...

  • Looking for a Replacement Door Latch for an Older Featherlite Trailer
  • The closest door latch we will have is the Redline Full Size Locking Steel Flush Door Latch # L3980. However, this will fit a 3-3/8" x 4-5/8" cut out and will measure 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" so it will end up being too small for your door. Unfortunately, the only way we could get you a door latch will require modification or replacement of your current door.

  • Recommended Side Door Latch For An Older Haulmark Enclosed Trailer
  • We have a few options available for side door latches and one that I like is the Polar Hardware Cam-Action Lockable Door Latch w/ 36" Pipe # 305736. The shorter pipe makes this ideal for side doors as it isn't quite as large and bulky as options for rear doors. This may not be an exact replacement for your Haulmark trailer, but it definitely a good option.

  • Replacement Locking Door Latch for 1994 Wells Cargo Trailer

  • One of your photos did come through and it appears to show a flush door latch like # PLR5115.

  • How To Find The Correct Replacement Entry Door Latch For A Horse Trailer
  • To find the correct replacement latch for your horse trailer you'll need to remove the current latch and measure the cutout hole. Just measuring the outside of the latch can lead you to purchasing the incorrect one because multiple latch fits could have the same outside dimensions but have vastly different cutout hole requirements to fit the latch and locking mechanism. I've attached a video below for another door latch to help walk you through measuring the cutout hole. For example,...

Or you can review the linked pages which display our range of trailer and...
