Michael: Hi there. I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today, we're going to take a quick look at the Bauer Products Steel Strike Plate. This is going to mate with a magnetic holder, to hold your compartment doors open while you're loading and unloading. This is a steel construction, so it's going to work with your positive or negative magnets. So, it is going to be compatible with the Bauer products magnet holders that you see on the screen there.
Obviously this is the round plate, so you'll want to make sure that you're using one of the round magnetic holders like we have on the screen there for you.Now, this is right at an 1-1/2 in diameter. You can see, we do have mounting holes there for you already. Those are spaced from center to center, right about one inch apart, and they do include some screws to help you get this mounted in place.This also has a powder coated finish to it, so it's going to be rust and corrosion resistant and it's going to give it a nice finished look. So it should be a nice piece on your apartment doors and you can see the screw heads are colored to match, so it's going to blend in nicely. Not going to look unsightly at all and give you that option to have those doors remain open, so that you can more easily load and unload your gear.So that's going to complete our look for today.
Again, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Thanks for watching.

I had these exact latches on my last RV and loved them. So much better than the cheap plastic hook type that get brittle soon and ends up breaking.
Problems I found on installing these on my Mercedes sprinter: the enclosed sheet metal screws are way too long and will extend all the way through the door or side skins, depending on which way you mount.
The countersunk screw holes in plates don't match up with round head sheet metal screws included. This allows the head to stand proud of the plate and can interfere with match up to magnet head. I ended up modifying the plate hole and switching to flathead screws I provided.
As thin as the skin on these RVs are, why not use a Pop rivet?
The alignment of the 2 pieces is a bit tricky and must match up to assure a good firm latch up.
Manufacturer can do better in my opinion.

The cargo door holder works great. Exactly what I needed
