How to Determine Correct Door Latch
Question:
exiss ss300 horse trailer door hinge. The only thing I know is that we have an Exiss ss300 Gooseneck 3 horse trailer. The latch on the door to the room where the bed is is broken. We dont know what part will work. I can measure the hole that the latch came out of, if needed. Please advise my husband and thanks in advance.

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 door thickness in order to choose the correct latch. I have added links to video reviews of these latches as well as a link to our entire selection of door latches for you to take a look at.
