Replacement Entry Door Latch Options For A 1998 Featherlite Cargo Trailer
Question:
I have a 1998 featherlite cargo trailer that I need to find the door latch/handle. Any ideas for a replacement?

Expert Reply:
Based on the pictures you have a motorhome style latch so we currently only have two options for replacement. The Bauer Products Motorhome Door Lock # BA64FR you were looking at is one of these options and it requires a 5-1/4" wide x 4-1/2" tall cutout hole in order to fit. The other option is the Bauer Products Rotary Latch # BA85FR, which requires a 6" tall x 4" wide cutout hole.
You'll want to remove the inner portion of the door latch and measure the cutout hole to determine what size door latch you'll need.
