Recommended Hardware for Converting Ramp Door Trailer to Side Opening
Question:
Hello. I have a ramp door on my 5x10 enclosed trailer. Would these hinges be suitable to use the same slab for a side swing door? Ramp door to side swing door

Expert Reply:
On your 5x10 enclosed trailer, the side swing door using T-Strap Hinge for Side and Rear Trailer Doors - 16" Long - Stainless Steel # PLR3416-SS is not rated for any specific size or weight. It is a great option as the length will help and then you will just need to determine how many are needed to support the weight. On the other end I recommend using a the Cam-Action Lockable Door Latch Kit for Large Enclosed Trailers - 2 Point - Zinc-Plated Steel # PLR458-018.
