Jake: Hey guys, it's Jake here with eTrailer. Today we're going to be taking a look at and I'm going to show you how to install the Polar Hardware Plunger and Rubber Socket Door Holder. This door holder is going to be a nice, flush design. It's going to hold your door open while you're loading it up or out working. Now you're not going to have to worry about having something propped against your door to keep it open. You're going to have a nice, open doorway to be able to walk in and out while you're loading it.
Both the plunger and the socket are going to be zinc coated, so it's going to help resist against rust and corrosion, and look nice on the outside of your trailer. What's nice about this plunger and socket system is it's not going to require any second hand to be able to reach in and latch anything. You're going to just push the door close until it latches, and then it's also going to have a nice, quiet latch because of that rubber socket.And along with making it easier to open your door, it's going to be a lot easier to close your door. Just grab your door and pull it loose from the socket. As far as your socket goes, it's only going to stick off your door about an inch, so you're not going to have to worry about running anything into it.
Now, as far as the plunger goes, you notice that it is sticking out a bit. It's not too bad. Ours, it's only sticking out an inch and three quarters. So it's not too bad. You can still walk by your trailer with no problem and not have to worry about running into it.
But you do want to be sure not to get anything caught on this because it is stationary.In your kit, you are going to get the plunger and the socket to be able to pair it up with your trailer. But you can pick up just the plunger or the socket if you happen to bend the plunger or if you need a new rubber insert for the socket. We do have those here at eTrailer.Now that we've gone over some of those features, let's go ahead and show you some of the tips and tricks that we took to get these installed. Now, to start our install we need to get our anchor in place first. We're going to put it alongside these bolts that we have here because we know that there's a stud behind there.
Go ahead and set it in place and make our marks to drill our holes. Now with our holes drilled, we did end up going all the way through that side wall support so that we can run our bolt through and bolt it on the other side. It'll just give us a little bit more stability when we go to open and close our door. Now we can go ahead and tighten down our hardware. The reason we put the peg on first is it's going to be easier to find the spot for our socket to go. The easiest way I've found is to open the door until it makes contact with the peg, and then put yourself a little bit of an indentation on the outside of the door. And then you'll see exactly where your socket needs to go. So we'll install our socket right here.We're going to be using two and a half inch long stainless steel bolts to go all the way through our door and bolt down onto a bracket to give our stop a little bit more integrity. We have our holes marked. We'll go ahead and drill these out. We'll take our bolts and slide it through all the way. We found a plate we're going to use. Put that in place. Slide our washers over and thread on our nuts.Once you have everything tightened down, that's going to do it for the installation and you're ready to open your door and not have to worry about it closing. With that being said, that's going to do it for our look and installation of the Polar Hardware Plunger and Rubber Socket Door Holder.

Good quality. These are sturdy & hold the doors securely. I used them on my shed doors so I wouldn't have to fool around with bungee cords or concrete blocks to hold the doors open when needed. Fast shipping, good pricing, & great communication with etrailer.com.
This method of holding a door back is superior to other methods not only for looks but for the quietness when lock the door down. This is important around horses that are easily spooked. The chrome finish adds to the look of the trailer and will last longer than just a rubber bumper.
Sam - 03/29/2020I repurposed these to keep my shed doors open. See pictures....Without them, in the South Dakota wind, they would bang around, open and close constantly. These keep them stuck open and they stand-off the perfect amount to not hit the side of the shed. Absolutely love them.
I really liked the updates and personal care I got on my order from etrailer.com. You’ve certainly got my future business...
If the wind is from the wrong direction this door hold back may not hold the door open. The other type door holds would be more secure and a wind would close the door only if the bracket pulled out of the trailer.
The lights went on easily and look good on my new fenders I'm happy with the whole purchase
Exact replacement and fast delivery.
It worked as advertised and installed in minutes.
Sturdy construction and built to withstand a lot of use and abuse from the elements
Recently bought a Toyota "Mini Winnie" and it needed a door holder and a screen door latch. Found what I needed on etrailer.com, ordered the parts, the order was processed quickly and delivered to my door within a few days. Even got an email from the person who processed the order letting me know it was on the way! Nice!
I thought the stem would be longer. Other than that they look good but I have not tried to use them at this timem.
Fast shipment and a nice quality item.
Strong and lite. Use 100% permanent MARINE ADHESIVE SILICONE or it will come off.
Worked perfectly
The door holder is working perfectly on the door of my truck camper. It holds much better than the original one that came with the camper. It also holds it at a perfect distance.
Heavy duty, keeps the door open
Perfect fit, reasonable price, fast del ivery
The door closure is made of stout metal and well coated with zink. It's a replacement for the rear door of a 1978 Chinook motorhome. I made a good choice!
I enjoy getting things from e trailer They are always on time and a good company to order from and everything is made of good quality thank you so much
Thank you for the prompt way, we had delivery of our order. It was what we needed. and price was good. This door stopper should of been on trailer from factory, but wasn't put on. Door would slam back if wind caught it right. so don't have to worry about it now.
Very nice, just what I was after, great quality, simple design. In case anyone is wondering the mounting holes are set up for a 1/4” diameter countersunk bolt or screw
These are nice cause when you use the the other style that latch and your guys forget to close the door tears up a lot of stuff these here are going to be a money saver
Fast shipment. Haven't installed yet, but looks sturdy. Should work better than the one that is broke on my trailer now
The product was exactly as described and what I ordered. I received my order on time and I would recommend etrailer.com to all my friends.
