Ramp Hinge PLR1902 For Making Swing Out Trailer Barn Doors

Question:

Hello, We are looking for barrel hinges that could be used for double doors at the tailgate on a utility trailer. They would need to swing out so that the doors swing 225 degrees all the way to the side of the trailer. Also looking for something like the Side door Bar Lock Assembly item # 305736 that we could use to latch the doors into the frame when closed. If we had to purchase the 36” assembly I think we could cut it down. One more thing, looking for something that we can use to temporarily latch the doorS to the sides of trailer when open, so that we can work at the end of the trailer. I have attached a picture of the trailer. It has 24 inch high wooden sides and we are anticipating making changes to accommodate the doors. Thanks so much!

The Ramp Door Hinge # PLR1902 that you referenced could swing out as far as you are needing so it would work well for you. The slide door bar lock assembly part # 305736 can also be cut down as needed as well.

Then for a mechanism to lock the door open you could use a rubber socket and plunger set like the part # PLR64-66.
