Perfect fit for my Aerovault trailer. Latches and locks great after a year.

Was exactly what I needed to replace the door latch on my horse trailer! It was easy to install and looks perfect!
by: Justin09/07/2022
Order was initially sent to the wrong address. I sent an email and almost immediately had a reply and a quick call on the phone and another one was headed back my way. Tough to get an actual person on the phone or even a response but they were great. Thank you
by: Matt11/13/2017
Very quick installation, less than a minute and an exact match to what I needed. Just a tip, watch the videos of the products that etrailer has for these, they show you how the latch is measured for the right fit.
by: Mike M.10/22/2016
Works well. Had to engineer an internal closing mechanism as this latch was a custom install, not a replacement.

Still working well, no problems.

I purchased 3 of these latches for a custom generator enclosure on a camping trailer. After a year of use, they are working well and still look great.

Kept me informed about the status of my item and always answered all my questions

The door latch was a perfect fit and easy to install. It's still operating as good as the day I ordered it and installed it.
by: Lydia 12/07/2021
Once we got the old one off, the new one was easy to install. Fits the dimensions perfectly.
by: Carl06/12/2018
Bought this to use on my mailbox. I leave it ajar, the postal worker closes it after putting packages in it and it locks , keeping my packages from being stolen. It could be used on a box on the porch or where ever also. It's perfect. Locked it will still close. I also put a slot in my mailbox in case someone locks it from mischief. She can leave a card for a post office pickup. Sorry thieves... You lose!

Still using it & it works great.

Strong and durable
by: Brad B.01/17/2014
Fit exactly to the measurements on page. Installed very easily and both keys work! Customer service was very helpful and delivery was right on time. I would recommend this product!!
by: Chris 10/03/2019
I purchased this latch as a direct replacement for the front door of my CM horse trailer. The fit and finish was perfect. The latch required pop rivets for installation and this latch was a direct fit and took about 15 minutes to install and looked very nice . Function was flawless and I was very pleased. I ordered the inside knob and it was perfect too. I look forward to ordering more products from trailer in the future to keep my aging trailer in top shape.
by: Jana 01/03/2020
Perfect fit to my horse trailer window latch!
Comments
Perfect!! Not one problem with it!!!
Jana - 01/04/2021by: Todd08/24/2018
I am pleased beyond words. The latches are identical to the broken, rusty, non-working OE latches on my Bestop OE soft doors for my 1982 CJ7!
I have searched far and wide only to find one source, costing over $100. And, they were just painted steel - bound to rust in just a few years.
eTrailer has these identical latches at half the cost, in stainless, with keys, and while they said they may not be able to match the keys - they did!
George, I owe you a beer!
by: Katie N04/12/2017
Very nice latch for our trailer door. Shipping time was good and packaging was very nice. They had the cheapest price and best lock out of any other place we looked. Thank you

- Can the Junior Locking Stainless Steel Flush Door Latch L1883 Be Keyed AlikeYes, the Junior Locking Stainless Steel Flush Door Latch part # L1883 will come keyed alike no matter how many you order. There are not any special prompts or instructions you will need to give in order for this to occur, just enter your quantity in the box on the product page and then proceed to checkout using the "Add to Cart" button.
view full answer... - What Size are the Mounting Holes on the Junior Locking Stainless Steel Flush Door LatchI spoke with Redneck Trailer Supplies and they informed me that the mounting holes on the Junior Locking Stainless Steel Flush Door Latch part # L1883 are about 3/16" diameter.
view full answer... - What is the Depth of the Locking Stainless Steel Flush Door Latch # L1883I spoke with my contact at Redline and he informed me that latch of this Locking Stainless Steel Flush Door Latch, part # L1883, will sit flush with the surface that it will mount to. He also said there is a distance of 3/4 of an inch behind the handle to the back wall of the latch. The overall thickness of this is 1-1/4 inches.
view full answer... - Hole Size and Door Thickness Required to Install Junior Locking Stainless Steel Flush Door LatchThe Junior Locking Stainless Steel Flush Door Latch # L1883 mounts in a 2-5/8 inch tall x 3-3/4 inch wide hole and the door will have to be no thicker than 7/8 of an inch to work. You will need to measure the door thickness on your trailer and make sure that you can cut a hole to the proper dimensions for the handle.
view full answer... - 1999 Casita Travel Trailer 16 Spirit / Door Lock Replacemant RecommendationIt doesn't look like we have anything that would be a direct replacement for the door latch of your 1999 Casita travel trailer, but we do have several different door latches that could be made to work on your door including the part # L1883. I attached a link to the right that has all of them. I also attached a review video for this door latch for you to check out.
view full answer... - Recommended Junior Locking Paddle Latch for 3/4 Inch Plywood MountFor your "Junior" Locking Stainless Steel Flush Door Latch, I recommend # L1883 which can be mounted in 3/4 inch plywood. The mounting holes are 3 inches center on center vertically and 3-1/4 center on center horizontally or vice versa depending on your mounting preference. The mounting hole must be 2-3/4 x 3-3/4 inches.
view full answer... - Will "Junior" Locking Stainless Steel Flush Door Latch Fit Trailer Door is Correct Hole Size Is CutAll you would need to do to install the part # L1883 that you referenced is cut the appropriate sized hole. For this latch you would need a hole that measures 3-5/8" tall x 4-3/4" wide.
view full answer... - 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. When locked, the latch will allow the spring loaded pin to move and latch into place. 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.
view full answer... - Does the Junior Locking Stainless Steel Flush Door Latch L1883 Come With Mounting HardwareThe "Junior" Locking Stainless Steel Flush Door Latch # L1883 does not come with mounting hardware. Since this door latch can be used for a variety of applications, the mounting hardware will vary depending on the material and thickness of the door. I recommend going to a local hardware store to find whatever mounting hardware suits your needs. The mounting holes are approximately 3/16" in diameter so it would need to be something that fits the holes assuming you choose to use them when...
view full answer... - Can The Redline Door Latch, # L1883, Be Keyed AlikeI called the supplier (Redline) and they said that all of the Redline Door Latch, # L1883, use the same key. Each latch will come with 2 keys. I also pulled 3 of them from the warehouse to verify that and they were all keyed the same. I also have the Redline Door Latch with Inside Release, # L1833, which is the same latch but with a knob installed on the interior side of the latch to provide an inside release.
view full answer... - Can Trailer Door Latch # L1883 be Opened from Both SidesThe Locking Stainless Steel Flush Door Latch, # L1883, has a threaded hole on the inside part in which you could insert your own knob so that it can be easily opened from inside. Another option is basically the same door latch that comes with the knob already in place. It is # L1833.
view full answer... - 1997 Exiss SX Horse Trailer Door Handle ReplacementIf the hole in your door for the handle measure 2-3/4" x 3-3/4" the # L4080 would work, but most likely you would need a handle like the part # L1883 as that is more like the latching style of your current handle. This latch installs in the same size hole.

- Does Trailer Door Latch L3980 Come Keyed AlikeIf you order 4 of the part # L3980 you will get 4 that use the same key. We do not offer a version that is chrome in this size though. We have the part # L1883 which is a "Junior" size at 2-3/4 x 3-3/4 inch hole size. Both of these flush mount locking door latches use the same key number.
view full answer... - Can a Looking Door Handle be Added to a TNT Cargo TrailerAdding a locking door handle such as # L1883 is not all that difficult at all. You just need to cut the proper size hole in the right place, attach the handle, and make it look all nice and neat. Locking door handle # L1883 requires a 2-5/8 inch by 3-3/4 inch hole. The door thickness can be no greater than 7/8 of an inch thick to use this handle. The full size version, # L3980, requires a 3-3/8 inch by 4-5/8 inch hole and fits doors up to 1-1/16 inches thick. I have linked a couple of...
view full answer... - Door Latch Recommendation for a Trailer Door with Hole that is 3 inch by 4 inchThe "Junior" Locking Steel Flush Door Latch part # L1980 that you referenced is designed to fit in a hole that is 2-3/4 by 3-3/4 inch. It would still fit just fine in a hole that is 3 inch by 4 inch. For a chrome finish we also have the # L1883.
view full answer... - Keyed Alike Flush Mount Locking Door LatchesI called my contact at Redline, and they told me that they use the same lock and key for their flush mount door latches. So you could order 4 of part # L1883 and they would all be keyed alike. If you need a larger latch, 4 of part # L3980 would also be keyed alike. Both of these flush mount locking door latches use the same key number.
view full answer... - Replacement 4-3/4 inch Long Flush Latch on Horse TrailerBased on the dimensions you listed the correct replacement latch would be part # L1930 which is a junior size latch. This has the knob on back side of the latch. For one that has a flat back you'd want the part # L1883.
view full answer... - Installing Flush Mounted Latch on Drawers with 3/4 Inch FaceThe "Junior" Non-Locking Steel Flush Door Latch # N1980 can be welded in place or you can drill the flange for installation with screws as you stated or rivets. If you want predrilled holes and a lock you can use the "Junior" Locking Stainless Steel Flush Door Latch # L1883. These will fit doors or drawer faces up to 7/8 inches thick.
view full answer... - Non-Locking Junior Stainless Steel Paddle LatchUnfortunately, there's not a stainless, non-locking version of this latch. However, there's a non-locking version of the "Junior" latch paddle available in steel as part # N1980.
view full answer... - What Is The Recommended Door Thickness For The Locking Flush Door Latch Part # L1883I went out to our warehouse and measured the "Junior" Locking Stainless Steel Flush Door Latch part # L1883 for you. The distance of the outer surface area that houses the 4 bolt holes is 1/2" on each side and the distance the latch protrudes out from the flange is 1/4" . I called my contact at Redline Trailers and they informed me that this lock can be used on a 3/4" thick door. To open for the inside, I recommend using the Inside Knob for Locking Stainless Steel Flush Door Latch part # 4PLSP.
view full answer... - Recommended Door Lock For Enclosed Trailer That Can be Locked From InsideYou may want to take a look at the RV Entry Door Latch Kit, part # 295-000019. This is designed for RV doors but if your door is between 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 inches thick, it may work great for you. This lock features a keyed lock and deadbolt. 2 keys are included.
view full answer... - Is Strike Plate Available for "Junior" Locking Stainless Steel Flush Door LatchI 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.
view full answer... - Available Locking Steel Flush Door LatchesThe Redline "Junior" Locking Stainless Steel Flush Door Latch # L1883, which measures 3-5/8-inches tall x 4-3/4-inches wide, is the smallest such paddle type latch we offer. It does not come in black but could painted, although its stainless steel construction means you do not need to worry about corrosion. The similar full-size latch # L3980 has overall dimensions of 4-1/4-inches x 5-1/2-inches. This is raw steel latch that can be primed and painted. We do not offer windows but we do...
view full answer... - Replacement Locking Door Latch for 1994 Wells Cargo TrailerI researched circa-1994 Wells Cargo trailers but I could not find any confirmed specs for the particular door latch they used on their various sizes of trailers. Most do use a flush-mount latch like Redline # L3980 and # L1883. You'll need to remove the old latch and measure the opening to find the correct replacement latch. Part # L1883 mounts in an opening that measures 2-5/8 x 3-3/4 and part # L3980 mounts in a hole that measures 3-3/8 x 4-5/8. For the inside knob you can use part #...
