Video Transcript for Review of Lippert RV Door Parts - Slam Latch For RV Door With Key - LC54PJ

Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com, and today, we're gonna take a look at this Lippert Slam Latch for RV doors. Now, this slam latch is going to be great for your RV compartment doors, and this looks like it's going to be a very easy installation for you. This comes in two parts as you can see here, you're going to have a panel that's going to install behind the door that you're going to be putting this latch on, and then the panel with the handle here is going to install on the front of that door. So let me go ahead and give you some measurements here to help you be confident that this is going to work for you. So I'm gonna be measuring this rear part first. And the overall height, and I'm gonna be measuring here at the tallest point, we're gonna be sitting right at 5 1/4 inches tall at the tallest point.

I'm gonna put my finger there, so you can see that just a little bit better, there we go. And then looking at the overall width, again, I'm measuring at the widest point, we're sitting right at five inches wide. And then the overall thickness, we're sitting right at an inch and a half thick, and that's taken into consideration where this latch is built into here on this rear portion. Now, the mounting holes, I measured here, we can measure it together. We're looking at about 3 1/8 inches center to center, and then, right at about 2 3/4 inches center to center.

Now, looking at this front portion, measuring again the overall height, we're sitting here right at about 4 3/4 inches tall at the tallest point, and then at the widest point, again, right at 4 3/4 inches wide. Now, putting these two halves together here. There we go. Now, I measured this gap earlier, and we're sitting right at half an inch. So when you have these two halves together, that gap in between is going to measure right at about a half an inch.

Now, as you can see, one key is included with this, it's gonna be a very simple operation, you turn it quarter of a turn, and it's going to lock it and then unlock it, so you will get one key with this. And this is constructed of a very durable hardened plastic, so this feels very durable, very rugged, so I think that's going to last you quite some time and hold up to those elements. Well, that's gonna conclude our brief look today, I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy, thank you for joining me..
