Will the Polar Heady Duty Camp Action Door Lock Work to Latch Horse Trailer Dutch Doors to Ramp

Updated 03/02/2016 | Published 03/01/2016

Question:

I have a 1997 trailet horse trailer, The top dutch doors are latched closed to the ramp via pins. The ramp is held up by cam locks as viewed in the picture. The picture is not my trailer. Could I used the above mentioned product to produce the results seen in the picture with the two center locks? My trailer does not have windows in the dutch doors either. v/r

The Polar Heavy-Duty Cam Action Door Lock for Enclosed Trailers # PLR258-002 that you referenced will work well for you to add dual cam door locks to the dutch doors and ramp of your horse trailer.

This cam action door lock can work for both right or left hand doors, so the same part number with work for both of the dutch doors on your trailer. The # PLR258-002 is designed for use with a 3/4 inch pipe, which is not included. This pipe can be found at your local hardware store.
