Video Transcript for JR Products T-Style Hook and Keeper Door Holder Review

What's up, everybody It's AJ with etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna be checking out this door holder from JR Products. It's gonna be stainless steel, it's gonna be four inches long, and what it's gonna do is it's gonna help you keep that door open when you're inside the trailer or working around it. Let's check it out. Checking out how it works, it's got the four-inch stainless-steel arm that's gonna hook into the catch here, and that's what's gonna keep the door in place. So as I bring the door closer to it, and I'm trying to stay outta the way so you can see it, it just goes in there.

The arm goes in the bigger portion there, slides back, and that's what keeps it holding in place. It's gonna be constructed out of a stainless steel, so you know it's gonna hold up on the outside of your trailer, The elements shouldn't bug it. It should last way longer and look nicer than the old ones, which are off there. Speaking on which, let's check out how we did that. Looking at the side of the trailer, you can see that our door hanger here has seen better days.

It's even missing some hardware, even some sealant on there on the backside, so make sure to replace that if that's what you're gonna go for when you go to replace your new one. Now we're gonna put our new door holder on there. So I'm gonna pop off these old ones here. Now, it does come with new hardware. We're not gonna use it this time.

That's more for if you wanna do it and install it in the doors to run it through. Our setup, we need the bolts to run through the other side and add a nut, so we're just gonna use the existing hardware because we need that long screw to put on there. So let's get started by removing the old stuff. So all I did was remove each one of the screws. There's gonna be four on each piece.

So I'm just gonna gonna back this off, last one, with our screwdriver. It's gonna release it, and that way, we can get it out the way to add our new stuff. So now we've got the new piece. I'm just gonna set that in the same place. All the holes line up. And we'll add the hardware. Our setup's a little different, like I said, because we're gonna put a nut on the backside. So I'm just putting the hardware in place first now. Now it's gonna be the same thing for this piece too. Run our bolts through. Once they line up. And then, I'm gonna get somebody to help me, and they're gonna hold the nut on the other side of the wrench while I tighten down this side with a screwdriver. Now I got it on there nice and tight. Let's see if the door latches. Now we're gonna open that door all the way. The door will latch. Looks like it's holding just fine. Overall, it's a definite improvement on our trailer. I mean, it looks better right out of the gate. Another thing would be that, since it's the stainless steel, it's not gonna rust, so I know that it's gonna last and look nice on the trailer for as long as it can. And I like these better than the plastic ones. You can get some of those that are between, like, white and black, and they're made out of plastic. And just looking at 'em, they don't seem as sturdy. They work, and they hold the door open, but I like seeing the stainless steel and knowing that it's gonna hold it in place and hold up. If the wind does catch the door, it'll pull on it a little bit tougher than it would. It's gonna hold up, and it's gonna keep that door open. Well, I think that does it. Thanks for hanging out, and I hope this helped..
