How To Find The Correct Replacement Entry Door Latch For A Horse Trailer
Question:
I have a ww bumper pull horse trailer and I need to replace the latch. Do you have dimensions for this latch to make sure I order the correct one? Judith

Expert Reply:
To find the correct replacement latch for your horse trailer you'll need to remove the current latch and measure the cutout hole. Just measuring the outside of the latch can lead you to purchasing the incorrect one because multiple latch fits could have the same outside dimensions but have vastly different cutout hole requirements to fit the latch and locking mechanism.
I've attached a video below for another door latch to help walk you through measuring the cutout hole.
For example, the Bauer Products Motorhome Door Lock # BA64FR requires a 5-1/4" wide x 4-1/2" tall cutout hole. Unscrew the inside portion of your door latch and take a quick measurement and let me know what you find and I can look for the correct replacement latch.
