The 6" Gray Plastic Door Holder is a ball-and-socket style door retainer used to help keep trailer, RV, cargo, utility, and service-body doors open during loading, unloading, and access. Its 6" center-to-center spacing makes it a practical replacement option when your existing door stay uses the same measurement and mounting style.
R&P Service Insight
Door holders are simple parts, but fitment depends heavily on matching length and mounting location. Always measure the old holder before ordering.
- Measure First: Confirm the center-to-center distance on your existing door holder.
- Check Both Sides: Make sure the ball and socket positions line up with your door and trailer body.
- Choose Hardware Carefully: Mounting screws are not included; select hardware suitable for your door and wall material.

R&P Repair Insight
Replacing a worn or missing door holder can make trailer access easier and help keep the door from swinging freely while parked or loading.
- Length Check: Some trailers use longer 8" to 10" holders, so confirm the 6" size is correct for your door.
- Mounting Check: If old screw holes are worn, repair the mounting surface before installing the new holder.
- Door Position Check: Test the open-door angle before final tightening to avoid binding or over-extension.
