6" Stainless Steel T-Style Door Holder Latch for Enclosed Trailer, RV & Camper | Rust-Free 304 Grade Door Catch Hook
Heavy-duty rust-resistant door latch designed to secure entry and cargo doors in the open position.
Overview
This 6-inch T-Style door hold back is a critical safety and convenience component for any mobile unit. Constructed from high-grade stainless steel, it is designed to withstand the rigors of the road and constant exposure to the elements. It provides a secure mechanical lock that prevents doors from slamming shut in high winds or vibrating against the vehicle body, protecting both your door hinges and exterior finish.
R&P Service Insight
We recommend stainless steel for all exterior trailer hardware to prevent "bleeding" rust streaks.
- Clearance: 6" length allows the door to clear handles and flares.
- Security: T-style hook offers a more secure lock than friction latches.
- Durability: 304/316 grade steel resists road salt and moisture.

R&P Repair Insight
Before finalizing your installation or replacement, perform these critical checks to ensure long-term performance and water-tightness:
- Dry Fit Check: Ensure the hook sits level in the keeper when the door is fully open to prevent binding.
- Fastener Selection: Always use stainless steel screws to avoid galvanic corrosion between the latch and the fastener.
- Moisture Barrier: Apply a dab of sealant or butyl tape behind the base plates to prevent trailer wall delamination.
