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 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…
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 Jack, If you're talking about a transition plate then you'll want the etrailer Enclosed Trailer Transition Plate #e32JR. This can be installed on either end of the ramp to help make the transition onto easier or at the hinge of the ramp…
Hey Bill, thanks for reaching out. I just went out to our warehouse and measured the Replacement Left/Curb Side Leg for etrailer and Ram Hydraulic Jack #e63VV. The outer tube is 4-1/2" square. The inner tube with the foot is 4".
Hey Jeff! Yes, the M-3 steel plate #M368FR is perfect for that setup. It’s about 81-3/4 inch wide, so it’ll span your ramp nicely, and the welded steel with a tread-plate texture gives great traction even if your wheels are wet or muddy. You’ll just…
Hey Brandon! Yes, either M-3 transition plate (steel #M368FR or aluminum #M348FR) will do the job, but I’d go aluminum #M348FR since it’s easier to trim and won’t rust if water gets in that recessed area. Just mount it across the lower edge of the…
Hi Marcus! The Taskmaster Modular Wheel w/ +0.08 Offset - 17-1/2" x 6-3/4" Rim - 8 on 6-1/2 - Silver #TA35ZR weighs a hair over 51 pounds. Pretty heavy, but it is a pretty heavy duty wheel. Do you already have a tire picked out for this? It…
Hey Bob! The wall bracket on the MORryde Safe-T-Rail #MR54BR is 2-1/8" wide. Since you have 2-3/4" it will be able to fit in your available space. Are you upgrading your hand rail or did something happen to the original?
Hey Bert, the biggest difference would be the Load Range which is a fancier way of saying the weight capacity. The Continental 235/75R17.5 HTR2 LRH has a Load Range of H whereas the Provider 235/75R17.5 LRJ is a Load Range J which means it has a…
Great idea, Leo - we don’t package the M-3 plates as a set, but you can just grab two of whichever version you prefer. Many folks use the steel plate #M368FR for the exterior edge where it takes more impact and the aluminum plate #M348FR for the…
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…

WOW! I am impressed! I called to place my order and real person answered, spoke perfect English, albeit a slight southern accent, and my order was sent within a day, shipped quickly and I had it a few days later. I saved over a hundred dollars over local and installed it my self. I cant imagine how that they could do any better. THANKS!

Secure Your Trailer with Reliable Spring Latches
Spring latches are essential for ensuring your trailer doors stay securely closed during transit. They offer a simple yet effective mechanism that automatically locks when the door is shut, providing peace of mind on the road.
Spring latches automatically engage when the door is closed, preventing accidental openings. This feature is crucial for keeping your cargo safe, especially on bumpy roads or during sudden stops. The automatic locking mechanism ensures that you don't have to worry about manually securing the door every time.
Spring latches are often made from durable materials like stainless steel or zinc-plated steel. These materials resist rust and corrosion, making them ideal for outdoor use. The robust construction ensures longevity and reliability, even in harsh weather conditions, keeping your trailer doors secure over time.
Yes, spring latches are designed for straightforward installation. Most come with pre-drilled holes and all necessary hardware, allowing for a quick setup. Even if you're not a seasoned DIYer, you can typically install a spring latch with basic tools, ensuring your trailer is ready for the road in no time.
Spring latches are versatile and can be used on a variety of trailer doors, including side and rear doors. They are adaptable to different door thicknesses and materials, making them a popular choice for many trailer owners looking to enhance security and ease of use.
Spring latches require minimal maintenance. Regularly check for any signs of wear or rust, and apply a lubricant to the moving parts to ensure smooth operation. This simple upkeep will keep your latch functioning properly and extend its lifespan, ensuring your trailer doors remain secure.
