• Flush Mount Door Latch for Cargo Trailer Side Door

• Is Strike Plate Available for "Junior" Locking Stainless Steel Flush Door Latch
  I checked to see if we had any strike plates that would work with the "Junior" Locking Stainless Steel Flush Door Latch # L1883 and while we don't, I was able to see that the Global Link Replacement Strike Plate # 295-000022 was really close to working and it has an opening of 11/16" wide. I don't think another 1/16" would cut it so I'd say look for one that has at least a 7/8" opening.

• Does Lock # L1883 Allow Latch Function When Locked?
  I went out to our warehouse to check on the "Junior" Locking Stainless Steel Flush Door Latch # L1883 you asked about.

So it will allow you to lock the mailbox opening latch without closing it and then when it is closed it will lock so it cannot be opened without the key. It works just like a slam lock for a baggage door.
