Hand Rail Hitting the Bauer Products European Style Entry Door Latch

Question:

Bought Bauer BA-35 latches for travel trailer doors. Like the handles but the folding hand rails hit the latch when folded in toward the door. Is this a common complaint? Is there a different handrail that I could purchase that wouldn’t interfere? I can/have folded back away from door for time being.

That isn't a complaint that I have heard a lot of concerning the Bauer Products European Style RV Entry Door Lock # BA38AR. Finding a replacement hand rail could be a solution. I'm not sure what travel trailer you have or what hand rail set-up you are currently using but something like the Stromberg Carlson Folding Handrail # AC-300 may work. I have included a picture that makes it look like the door latch will be in the opening of the hand rail when folded.

If this does not look like a suitable solution, please reach back out to me with more information on your travel trailer/hand rails and I would be happy to help you further. Pictures are also, always helpful.
