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...

  • 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.

  • Recommended Replacement Trailer Door Holders For A Featherlite 5th Wheel Horse Trailer
  • To match your 1" long plunger you'll want the Plunger and Nylon Socket Door Holder # DH604. Just like with your old door holder these will hold your trailer doors open with ease by mounting one part to the door and the other to the side of your trailer. They create a 1" gap between trailer and door when in use. All metal parts are zinc plated to resist rust and corrosion.

  • 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...

  • What To Do If Your Entry Door Open Angle Doesn't Match Up Well To The Wall For A Door Holder
  • A shorter hook would help with the angle of the door to help get the hook into the holder for your trailer's door. An option with a 45 degree bend in it, like the part # 37211765, would give you a better option to work with the angle of the door, but you might have to change the placement of the holder to properly fit with the door. I recommend installing the hook on the door first and then holding the door up to the wall of the trailer to find the correct spot for the holder. This would...

  • Size of Receiving Hole of JR Products Pivoting Door Holder Receiver
  • The diameter of the receiving hole of the Pivoting Door Holder Receiver # 37210635 is 9/16" of an inch. It is not meant to work on older featherlite horse trailers for the down window as a keeper, is it a replacement part for the Pivoting Plunger and Socket Door Holder for RV or Enclosed Trailer - 3" Plunger # 37210645. I have added links below to video reviews of both parts for you to check out as well.

  • 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 -...

  • Availability of a Rubber Bumper For a Plunger and Socket Door Holder
  • We carry two different plunger sockets that could potentially work for you. The Nylon Replacement Socket part # DH600S and the Replacement Rubber Socket # DH38S. For the price and knowing that there wouldn't be any compatibility issues you may be better off just getting a Plunger and Nylon Socket Door Holder # DH604 that you referenced.

  • Mounting Hole Spacing Of The JR Products T-Style Hook and Keeper Door Holder # 37210525
  • The mounting bracket holes can vary by manufacturer but 1" x 2-1/4" is super common. To install the T-Style Hook and Keeper Door Holder for RV or Enclosed Trailer # 37210525 you can reuse the 1" spaced holes and one set of the holes (either top or bottom) and fill in the other set and drilling out new holes to secure the new brackets. The only trailer door holder we carry with a 2-1/2" spacing is the Plunger and Socket Trailer Door Holder # PLR62-66, which only has two holes so you'd...

  • Recommended Replacement Latch And Holder For A 2016 Fleetwood Bounder
  • I took a look at those latches on your 2016 Fleetwood Bounder and was not able to find anything, unfortunately. With that being said, the best we can offer is for a completely different replacement. I know this probably is not ideal, however if you're interested the closest I was able to find is the: -T-Style Hook and Keeper Door Holder for Trailer Rear or Side Door # PLR9-A. This door holder uses a low-profile hook and keeper to keep your door open while loading and unloading. The hook...

  • 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.

  • Does the Plastic Stem and Rubber Socket Door Holder Come with 3 Stem
  • I do have an option for you but the longest door plunger we offer is 2", the Plastic Stem and Rubber Socket Door Holder part # DH39R. That said, the only difference the longer plunger makes is that it will cause the trailer door to sit further away from the trailer when locked open. The above length allows for a 2-1/4" gap so as long as you don't have anything sticking off the door that would impede this you can use the 2" plunger.

  • Recommended J-Style Hook and Keeper Door Holder for Enclosed Trailers
  • Hey Thom, it sounds like you're looking for the 90-Degree T-Style Hook and Keeper Door Holder for Enclosed Trailer # 37210605. This is pretty similar to the Kwikee T-Style RV Door Holder w/ Bumper # LC381412 but is shaped in a 90 degree bend to create that "J" shape you're looking for.

  • T-Style Hook and Keeper Door Holders for Cargo Trailer

  • Door Keepers For Holding Enclosed Trailer Entry Door Open at 90 Degree Or 45 Degree Angle
  • The 45-Degree T-Style Hook and Keeper Door Holder # 37211765 and 90-Degree T-Style Hook and Keeper Door Holder # 37211785 would allow you to hold your entry door open for additional ventilation. While these are stainless steel and very strong I would warn against using in very strong winds as it could damage the door or trailer skin if a strong enough gust is blowing. You can use multiple holders on the door but do remember to unhook them before trying to close or open the door. The hook...

  • Replacement Door Holder that Has a Longer Rod with a Ball and Socket for RV Door
  • The type of door holder you are describing sounds like the plunger and socket style like the part # PLR62-66 which has a 1-3/4 inch long plunger or part # PLR64-66 which is 2-1/4 inch long. I also attached a link to a page that has all of the plunger and sockets we offer.

  • 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...

  • Can Trailer License Plate Holder with LED Light be Installed on Ramp Door of Enclosed Cargo Trailer
  • You can definitely install the Trailer License Plate Holder with LED Light # 328-003-71BE on the ramp door of your trailer. You'll just have to route enough wire that it doesn't get pulled apart when you lower the door, and you'll also want to make sure that you protect it from weight being placed on it so that it would break.
