Bifold To Single Door Charmc Gooseneck Enclosed Trailer Conversion
Question:
I have client with a Charmac Gooseneck enclosed trailer with Bifold doors. They are asking us to convert it to a single down door. From searching your website it appears that Item # CB250D96SHD might be just the needed parts for the conversion. It appears to come with pretty much everything needed - am I making this too easy and missing something? Enclosed Trailer Ramp Heavy Duty Spring - Dual, 96inch Wide Item # CB250D96SHD Cam-Action Lockable Door Latch Kit for Large Enclosed Trailers - Zinc-Plated Steel - PLR658-002 Ramp Door Hinge - Steel Item # PLR1902

Expert Reply:
Depending on your dimensions, the double torsion springs fit 96 inches wide, # CB250D96SHD or the 81 inches wide, # ERS120D81 would be used. Installation requiring winding torsion springs can be very dangerous if you don't have prior experience. A local garage door company can install this system if you're not confident.
A retention device for the door when it is up such as # 383200 can also be used horizontally or vertically.
