Today we're gonna take a look at the three point Cam-Action lockable door latch kit for large enclosed trailers, and a zinc plated steel construction.Now, these are Cam-Action door latch, which is ideal for heavy duty side or rear doors on large trailers. They use the three anti-rack keepers right here with the long lugs that wrap tightly around the pipe to help prevent latch doors from jumping and shifting. This center keeper right here provides additional grip on the pipe itself.On the pipe retainers right here, you'll notice the bolt holes on these pipe retainers are on one side only so that you can mount the pipe here closer to the edge of the door.Now, the handle on this, it is a double action handle assembly. Ensures simple, secure latching. Helps protect against in transit jarring. What you basically do is flip this handle keeper that's on the half, the latch up, and then you just lift the handle to release it, and then rotate the handle to either to release or engage the cam.Also on the handle, if you notice it has a nice black vinyl grip on it.
Makes it very comfortable to use. The hasp itself, you can see right here, it's a bridge type hasp. Helps prevent accidental opening, ensures safe latching action, and if you notice, they have holes that'll line up here so it can be locked with a padlock for extra security. Now, padlocks we do sell separately on our website.All these parts are nice zinc plated steel construction, provide durability and corrosion resistance. Includes everything laid out here on the table.
We mentioned the three anti-rack keepers with the three anti-rack lugs, the two spacers right here, the three top pipe retainers. This is the top portion, and then three bottom pipe retainers. The handle assembly, and then the bridge type hasp right here. It's all included.Now, these are a simple bolt on installation. Now, it will require a three quarter inch diameter standard pipe and mounting hardware, which is not included, to install all these parts.
Handle length on it is about 14 inches.But that should do it for the review on the three point Cam-Action lockable door latch kit for large enclosed trailers and a zinc plated steel construction.

Michael,Im doing exactly what you did putting this bar lock over an RV style door. The door is about 12 from being flush with the trailer side and it looks like yours may be too. Did you bend the strap to get it to lay flat against the door? I thought of spacing out the hinge plates so theyre flush with the door but dont think that would look good.Also, did you remove the rear lip on the aluminum trim the hinge plates are mounted over, space under the hinge plates, or just mount over it?Thanks,Steve

Steve,there is an aluminum trim around the rv door, I just bumped the hinge of the bar to the closest lip of that alum. trim to the door basically mounting over the top of the trim -so on top of the left side bump and bumped the right side if that makes sense. it kinda naturally fits. the bar lays nice and tight to the door by just mounting it ad is. Add some metal straps on iside of door mount to beef that up. I used 2 or 2.5 inch bolts with oversized washers on inside alum. jamb and cut off excess bolt and grindedsanded smooth to nut. I siliconed the gaps on the outside above hinge because it wont sit flat due to the alum. trim so water doeant get on by bolts. Hope that helps.

Is there a weak point created when bolting the hinges so close to the edge of the door opening? Could you install one of these by moving the whole assembly to the left, thus creating room for hinge backplates? I guess you would have to lower the mount point as well, to avoid the doors backplate from hitting the factory lock and use a shorter but wider door backplate.I assume you feel your hinges are secure. I have yet to take ownership of my trailer so I dont know what kind of stud is framing the door.I am so happy this accessory is available. I really didnt notice the pitiful side door lock until after I purchased my trailer. A crowbar and about 5 seconds is all it would take to get inside!

The latch assembly is exactly what I needed for the shed that I built to house my small refrigerator. The critters or other unwanted cant get in.

Ed- awesome build. Im building something very similar. Where did you get the trim for the door so it can seal? Also what about the larger top trim?
Do you have a question about this Trailer Door Latch?
