Question:

The pipe in my cam lock is so thin, like electrical conduit. I am a licensed Contractor What is the gage of the pipe? the welds at the handle/ pipe are broken on both sides of my trailer. Will the bolt pattern match my trailer?

Expert Reply:

I actually have a better solution for you than using # 3057-55. You could instead use # PLR458-018 and then supply your own pipe. That way you can get as heavy as a pipe that the system will allow. Or a solid bar for that matter. The pipes on the pre-fab systems such as # 3057-55 are going to be the same as what you have now.

On # 3057-55 the bolt holes at the hinges are spaced 3-1/4 inches apart on center. And the distance from the bottom hole on the bottom hinge to the top hole on the top hinge is 53-1/2 inches.
