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..
Excellent product with fast shipping. Item description was vague, however the Q & A answered all my concerns about fit and match. There was even a diagram provided in Etrailer's response to a question. One comment stated the ports were not threaded for the screws and needed to be tapped. Not in my case... self tapping screws on the existing installation worked great. Less then 5 minutes to install. Thanks for great service!
Exact fit. Information was a little sparse on this part, so passing along helpful details for other folks to save time. Note only the latch/handle assembly is included with LC227214. No screws, backplate, keys, or striker plate is included. etrailer.com sells the matching backplate (LC227099). The striker plate for my application is LCI #2393871 (has the large lip to cover the outside frame and a nice cup for the latch to sit in). I was able to find screws at my local hardware store. The latch/handle assembly I received was NOT pre-threaded for the 4x screws, so I had to thread them first (I used a fine 6-32 thread). I used pop-rivets for the 4 holes on the backplate along the edge of door frame. etrailer.com sells the keys, but they are all keyed alike, so didn't need one.
Awesome product just wondering if the latch can be keyed to my existing rv locks.
etrailer did a great job communicating with me about my order. I had a unique OEM part I needed and they found the right one and got it to me. They have delivered very personal service and I was impressed with the customer service which is rare these days
Exact replacement and a quality part.
Great fit only disappointing was 1 key per lock instead of 2 keys per lock as was told when I ordered the latches
This is the exact latch that I needed for my Grand Design Solitude pass through storage door. E-trailer had it I. Stock and the free shipping option was still only a couple of business days. etrailer.com is my go to when I am looking for parts and accessories for my trailer.
Just installed Lippert replacement latch. It is plastic and metal. It is not magnetized as original but I see that earlier model is no longer offered. Perhaps the new latch will be more durable. I anticipate no issues and very glad the item was offered by etrialer. Bay was so helpful in finding correct info to help me with decision to purchase correct latch. The latch fit perfectly and works as it should. Bay was knowledgeable and great to work with.
The latch fit perfectly. The service was amazing, shipping was very fast...
The product is great and fits perfectly. My complaint though is the price for this was extremely high. I do wish I would have bought this from [online vendor] for half the price. I found that the one on [online vendor] was exactly the same product in the end. I chose to buy through etrailer because it is a great company that is very trusted.
Fit perfectly works great
Thank you for the quick shipping. Works great. Thank you
Fit like a glove. Wish I could have been able to match the lock/ key with the handle that broke. At least the key is a different color so I don't have to fumble with keys.
the part was installed and works perfec tly
Over priced but works as expected.
Latch fit properly, was delivered promptly. The only disappointment was that no option to provide key to match my original latch.
Package delivered on time. But didn’t include the screws to install it. Had to use my old rusty screws
This lock has worked flawlessly and has held as as expected.
Great replacement, bought a pair for Grand Design Solitude compartment door. Came keyed alike. No screws came with the two piece assembly. Purchased 8 Stainless 8-32 x 1" screws at the hardware store instead of using old screws.
The slam latch Item #LC54PJ fit perfect,the video was very helpful, the back of the original slam latch was broken so I could use the same front from my old latch fit perfectly, I would recommend this company to everyone.
Perfect fit and match easy install. I wish it could have been keyed alike, only downside. Very affordable.
Item was excellent. The screws do not come with the new latch, so keep your old ones. Bonus is my old key worked with the new lock.
Perfect OEM replacement!
Dianna was incredibly helpful with ordering this slam latch. it was out of stock, she tracked the availability, then put the order in and tracked when it was going to be shipped. Awesome experience, kudos to Dianna for a great job well done!
The product is well built and a perfect fit to replace the slam latch on my Winnebago Minnie Plus. The installation was easy and only took a couple of minutes. Several things caught me off guard and you should be aware of before ordering. This slam latch does NOT come with a magnet. This is a big deal for me and a true disappointment. This is not mentioned in the description of the product other than in a small print at the bottom of the page where the Lippert part number for non magnet latch is referenced as a replacement for the part number with the latch. Very confusing! Second, this comes with only one key. Also, there are no screws with the latch. You must use your existing screws from the latch you replace. If you are putting in slam latches for the first time, you will need to purchase screws from you local hardware store. Quality of product is great! Service from etrailer was great! Description on website is misleading. The part is not the exact replacement that I thought it to be.
