Hello Bruce, Thanks for writing in! Using butyl tape between the trailer body and the Single Axle Jeep Style Trailer Fender - Diamond Plate Aluminum - 13" to 15" #HP96VR is exactly the route I would go. It stays flexible, creates an…
Good question, Tina - you’re in the safe zone with the M-3 aluminum plate #M348FR. It’s 3/16 inch thick and fully welded across the piano hinge (some cheaper ones are just bolted instead of welded), so even with heavy mowers or small tractors, it…
Happy to help James, thanks for reaching out! Choosing the right M-3 ramp door spring system really comes down to matching your specific trailer and door. The biggest factor is the weight of your ramp door. The spring system is designed to help lift…
Hey Dustin. I installed the Enclosed Trailer Transition Plate item #M368FR on a trailer here when we first got them in and you're good! That plate is single solid piece of steel. It's got a heavy duty piano style hinge that has been riveted…
Hey Tim welcome back! Your ARH15AACBL2 GE AC unit has the old 410a refrigerant in it so the GE Appliances item #GE64FR you were looking at isn't going to work as a replacement. The EPA mandated R32 refrigerant has been used in all new AC's…
Hey Alan - you can absolutely use the M3 plate at the door-to-floor gap. Many folks run one on the outside edge and another inside for a totally smooth roll-through. The steel plate #M368FR gives you extra strength if you’re using pallet jacks or…
Hey Steve, the Rubber Door/Hatch Seal for RV and Trailers #SR98ZR comes with the adhesive needed to install it so really you just need to clean the surface you plan to install it on and it would be ready to be put on!
I'd go with a double spring personally, Scott. These are typically going to be used on more heavy duty applications like your enclosed trailer with a pretty heavy door. In order to get a proper replacement though, you'd need measure the width…
Hey Mike, thanks for reaching out. For the CTG60-2360W MORryde RV Cargo Slide Tray #MR87ZV, the 23" dimensions you see listed is the overall max width of the entire assembly. The inside dimension of the tray is approximately 19-7/8". For…
I wish we could help. I know you've asked for dimensions a few times and I got you what I could from B and W but we are still 26 days away from getting more of these in stock to measure so there's not much I can do right now.
Hey Dylan - both M-3 plates measure 81-3/4 inches wide, so you'd need to trim off a little bit. The aluminum one #M348FR would be easier to trim, so I'd pick that over the steel one. The hinge runs the full width so you’ll still get solid…
We have quite a few options Marvin! The Conventional Ramp Door Spring for 8' Wide Enclosed Trailer item #M386FR you were looking at, is designed for trailer doors 94-3/8"- 95-3/8" wide. It comes with all mounting hardware and brackets,…

Trailer Door Parts for easy access and upkeep
Keep your ramp and entry working the way you want with latches and locks matched to your door cutout, heavy-duty hinges and bumpers for ramp doors, and drip guards or seals that stop water from sneaking in. For lift help, choose ramp springs by door weight, width, shaft size, and left/right orientation—there are dual-spring setups with ends that turn independently—and add transition plates; some installs may need small catch or bracket tweaks.
Make clean 90° corners by cutting mating 45s. A simple 45° miter jig to hold the bulb seal and a sharp knife can improve the cut. Glue the 45° corners together—Loctite super bonder 495 was used successfully—to form the corner. Dry fit first to check compression and sealing before final bonding.
Yes—plates have handled 1100lbs tool boxes and 800lbs tire machines and worked well. Only part of a mower's weight sits on the plate at a time. Check your ramp width for full coverage and plan for trimming if needed. Mount securely to help reduce flex and protect the ramp edge.
Add a drip rail above the door. Extending it beyond the opening on both ends stopped water that rolled inside when the vehicle was wet or raining. Position it so runoff is directed away and seal any fasteners to prevent leaks.
Match the spring to your door's weight and width. If you use dual springs, each end can turn independently to help when ground under the tailgate isn't level. Verify shaft size and spring length—some setups use a 1-1/2" shaft and 10" long springs—and confirm left/right orientation. If tension is set so the door stays down but won't wind all the way up, the door may be too narrow for that spring size.
Measure the cutout and face size first. Some latches fit a 3-3/8" x 4-5/8" cutout and measure 4-1/4" x 5-1/2"; larger cutouts may need modification or a different latch. Consider an inside release for safety. On install, the paddle arm may need a slight bend to fit the strike slot. Confirm key count if you expect 2 keys.
