Still works great. 696452

These were a perfect fit on my trailer, This is a great buy!!! 671746

I finally got around to installing it. I had no problem with that and it was pretty simple. It works great and looks great too. 634635

Prompt shipment, Quality product, insufficient dimensional detail to determine the designed relationship between the hinge mounting surface plane and the door surface plane when door is in the closed position. Had to buy the product in order to determine the applicability. Was able to adapt after determining the required shim thickness.see attached pix. 563807

Product shipped quickly! Was at my door 3 days later. Took 45 mins to install by my self very easy! It helped reading reviews to insure it was installed right. I would definitely recommend a brace inside of door where latch is door was flimsy. 269445

The 36" LockSide Door was shipped fast and was just what I was looking for. It was the correct size for my door and was easy to install. Took about and hour and fit . All I Had to do was get the hardware to install . Would buy this product again and would recommend. 418804

I paid for installation, due to the fact I have a brand new trailer and didn't want to mess it up! Without question this bar lock does the job. I have a Wells Cargo trailer, and this same part would cost at least $100 more if I ordered it thru them. The latch was a bit too large (both wide and tall) for the "hockey puck" style Master lock I purchased to secure it, but a metal file and about 10 minutes was all it needed. Just a small trimming of metal was all it required. The 2 rear door bar locks (factory installed) needed similar attention. Sorry I have no pictures. I store my trailer a few miles away so it's not handy. But my installation looks just like everyone elses. 183521

Thanks for the follow up. We just bought a Look 6' x 12' cargo trailer that only had the in-door lock on the side door. Of course we wanted to beef that up and in searching found your site. After reading the reviews we ordered the #305736 36" side door bar lock assembly on 1/20 and received it 1/22. Great! We installed it the next day in about an hour. It went on with minimal effort (drilling the holes was the worst) and looks as if it came on the trailer. We did install the hinge side over the door trim and used backer plywood inside with oversized washers and locking washers. We did the same for the door bracket. The pictures on your site from customers helped us, so we have attached a couple of our own. Thanks e-trailer! The Wheelers 115131

Did not think I would have to shim hinges out 1/2 in. Would have been nice if you supplied Shims. If not for that problem, I would have been very happy. 380638

The Lock Side-Door Bar is what should be on the door. I security it gives me now hauling the trailer down the road is comforting knowing that it will no long swing open in its original state with just a key entry lock. My husband was happy with the simple install and it matches what I already have on the drop back door. Very happy with the product. Highly recommend it. 358930

Awesome! Best purchase ever!

Great product. I used them on a hybrid camper and they have been outdoors in Michigan with no issues. 556893

Pretty nice product. Appears to be made in the USA by Polar. One of the welds is what I would call sub par, but the rest look OK. Easy install on my cargo trailer's side door. Takes 5/16" carriage bolts. 140443

Holds door securely shut. I added a custom bracket to stabilize the side of this homemade box, by using the back door as a shear wall. See special bracket just below top hinge, under rod. The right wall cannot vibrate when driving, or be pushed out by contents inside. 212627

The products are exactly what I needed, I got an estimate from a local company to do the lock change and install the bar on my trailer door for $325.00 when I remembered I had purchased from Etrailer before so I got on-line and within days received my parts from Etrailer for $xx.xx and will install myself. The only dissapoitment is there is no hardware to install the trailer lock bar so now I have to deal with that and locate where to get the proper hardware. I just assumened it would come with it so I think this information needs to be known to the customer before they order, I have looked on the site and I can not see anywhere that Etrailer even sells the hardware for me to order from them. I feel like I bought a pair of new shoes with no shoe laces, however the shoes are very nice! 310720

Fantastic!!! Like fort knox

Received the item very quickly for having chosen the "economy" shipping. Installed on 2015 Haulmark Transport side door for additional security, used in conjunction with a puck lock. Install was easy with the help of the reviews from this site, particularly the one from Michael K. I attached mine in the same manner as Michael, on top of the aluminum trim and butted up against the lip. I believe it would be just as functional and still secure through a vertical post if secured at the edge of the aluminum trim, however there seems to be better door engagement with it on top of the trim. I've attached a close-up of the mounting, as the description in other reviews is lacking in clarity. The door is rather flimsy on the this model of trailer, as I'm sure is the same with most trailers, so some backing will be required inside the door for the mounting hardware to distribute the load. I used a 1/8"x2" strap steel that I found at the local hardware store. Very satisfied with the end result, quality product at a great price. 159165

I just received the 36" Bar Lock Assembly. Thank you for the quick shipment, I received it in 5 days, much faster then any other parts I have ordered from other places. I am going to install the product this weekend and will let you know how it goes. Thanks for the great service 34898

Still in the process of getting this mounted, but it seems like a solid piece of equipment. One thing to note: this is made for applications where the door is flush with the trailer frame. My trailer door rests on the frame when shut, so it sticks out about a half inch. To compensate, I had to buy some aluminum bar stock to cut and mount under the hinges. Also, I apparently need to find a carriage bolt with a bigger head for the little swivel piece, as the first bolts I picked up had too small of a head to secure that piece in place. 256915

We recieved our door-bar on Thursday Evening, and Friday I installed it in about an hour. I purchased $7.50 worth of carriage bolts & washers & ny-lock nut. 2.5 carriage bolt for the 36" rod hinge & 2" for the door. Our older Aluma trailer door lock with the "rod & lever" closure was not keeping the door completely closed plus the keys are obsolete and needed a new key. With this set up my doors stay sealed to keep out dirt & dust and I can use any heavy duty lock. (Lock upgrade purchase soon) Thanks for fast delivery service too. Odered on Monday & recieved on Thursday! Plus we love our 1.25 receiver hitch for our VW Jettawagen which we use to haul our bicycles! (purchased in October). We Paid $75 to have it professionally installed but saved $100 on the hitch. 162136

I just attached the 36" latch bar. it only took about 30 minutes. Took longer to make sure it was positioned right and not to impede on the rv latch. I included a small bracket on the door as well. Latch hardware seems better the originals on back. 5/16" carriage bolts are needed. I used 2 1/2" then cut off anything past the nut. Pictures included. 104942

Thanks for coming back and following up!

Working great. Would order from you again.

Michael K - 10/24/2014

Usually these latches are not positioned so closely to the edge of the door. Most of the time, the hinges of the handle side and the latch for the handle are set equidistant from the edges of their respective doors.

Great company to work with, they always have what we need to get the job done. 728854

It’s going to make my trailer more secure than the little door lock. It should include some mounting spacers, as there is a lip around the door. I fabricated my own so the bar would clear this lip. 727330

Received the door lock from this afternoon, it is already installed. Looks great, fits great, easy install, calms the nerves about another break in. 722894

my order was delivered 1 day early and all of the parts that I ordered appear to be of a high quality. 716526

Damaged the original. Holes didn't match on the new one but that's OK because I just drilled new ones. Works great. 713984

Looks fantastic, a little shiny but I can’t complain we’ll see if the rivets rust. 704984

GREAT SERVICE WOULD DO BUSINESS WITH AG AIN. 699756

exactly as described fast shipping arrived days before expected!!! A+++++++ will definitely purchases from etrailer again!!!! 697585

Really nice. Not great. The ones we had had the metal wings that covered the screws when closed. Also should add replacement screws and security screw bit hard to find. 695313

Added this bar lock to the side door on my 6X10 Wells Cargo enclosed trailer. Easy installation and it works great. Fit is a bit snug, but it has not been a problem. Some aluminum shims under the hinges would provide a looser fit, but really not necessary. Price is a fraction of what it would have cost to get this bar lock from the trailer manufacturer. This lock provides a substantial increase in security for the trailer and is really well built. 694498

The part is great but in all honesty I cannot give it more than three stars based on the fact it does not have any installation hardware included or available to order. No spacers, no bolts, nothing. It’s really a terrible system to sell the bar alone. 682166

Great locks. 682330

Great product. I wish it came with the pan head bolts and hardware though... certainly worth the extra couple bucks and will save the hassle of the customer making a trip to the hardware store. 680405

just what l needed 666812

Fast shipping and very good product, will do business again 665791

The bar lock came as advertised...but where the handle meets the pole, the weld was showing rust right out of the box. Should not have been shipped that way. Ill probably just keep it, maybe brush some Rustoleum silver paint on there to slow down the rust. 664672

Works great. Just as described. 664652

Husband used them as closures on his new carport. 663560

by: Wesley B06/24/2019

After a year these things hold up and work very well. I have 3 and they all are great! Would buy again without hesitation. 662086

Excellent item and shipping. Thank you etrailer. 660394

Just what we were looking for. Great service. Arrived on time and as expected. 654870

Looks and works good 643848

all parts look great and high quality I will be installing in the near future. 641623

Good quality product. Used them on a homemade cargo trailer. Easy to install and make the trailer look more professional. 638437

Came quick and happy camper 636533

by: Leo04/23/2019

It’s didn’t fit my diamond cargo trailer it’s very hard to close but it’s not because of the product it’s just a hair big around 1/2” to long so there for it’s really tight to close. 634631

Product was delivered quickly. To others buying this item. Please note that if your door has an offset from the trailer, that is it is not completely flush, you may have to shim the hinges in order to make the bar fit correctly (flush with the door). Otherwise it is a quality item. I wish they sold a model with hinges that allowed for a slight outward offset. 633371

by: Jill b04/02/2019

We bought door latches for our toy hauler. They were exactly as described and my husband had no issue putting them on. Definitely a great buy as well. The back door opens perfectly now 616290

Product was better than expected, delivery quick, Keep up the great work. 613793

Hinges didn't quite line up with existing holes on trailer but drilling a few new hole wasn't a big deal. 612571
